Robert J. Slotkin, Fort Lauderdale, pro se.


In this case, acting pro se, Don Kozich brought suit against multiple defendants, including the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA), the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Attorney General, employees of FIGA and a number pf attorneys and law firms. The trial court dismissed the suit after determining that an August 4, 1998 order entered by Judge Burnstein barred OF prohibited Kozich from further filing any pro se actions in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. Kozich has appealed, insisting that the trial court misinterpreted the 1998 order and that the order barred him only from pursuing any pro se claims against the particular defendants in the 1998 case. We reject Kozich's argument and affirm the trial court's interpretation of the order. We have also considered all other issues raised by Kozich and find them to be without merit. Accordingly, the order appealed is affirmed.

Affirmed.

FARMER, STEVENSON and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
