The petition for writ of habeas corpus is hereby denied. See Collins v.

State, 728 So.2d 1165, 1165 (Fla.1998) (recognizing that courts have inherent authority to sanction abusive litigants and such sanctions may include prohibiting pro se filings).

PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
