Lower Tribunal No(s).: 162012CF007413AXXXMA
The petition for writ of habeas corpus is hereby denied because petitioner raises the same claims that were raised in Green v. Dixon, Case No.: SC22-941, 2022 WL 3442215 (Fla. Aug. 17, 2022), and Green v. Dixon, Case No.: SC22-399, 2022 WL 1548559 (Fla. May 17, 2022), in which the petitions were denied. Cf. Topps v. State, 865 So.2d 1253 (Fla. 2004). All other motions are hereby denied. No motion for rehearing or reinstatement will be entertained by the Court.
The Court hereby expressly retains jurisdiction to pursue any possible sanctions against petitioner. See generally Fla. R. App. P. 9.410(a).

The Court has chosen to sanction pro se petitioners who have abused the judicial process and otherwise misused this Court's limited judicial resources by filing frivolous, non-meritorious, or otherwise inappropriate filings related to their convictions and sentences. Such petitioners have been barred from initiating further proceedings in this Court unless their pleadings, motions, or other requests for relief were filed under the signature of a member of The Florida Bar in good standing. See, e.g., Steele v. State, 14 So.3d 221 (Fla. 2009); Pettway v. McNeil, 987 So.2d 20 (Fla. 2008); Tate v. McNeil, 983 So.2d 502 (Fla. 2008); Rivera v. State, 728 So.2d 1165 (Fla. 1998).
It appearing that the petitioner has abused the judicial process by filing numerous pro se filings in this Court that are either meritless or not appropriate for this Court's review, the Court now takes action. Therefore, Ladon M. Green is hereby directed to show cause on or before December 16, 2022, why he should not be barred from filing any pleadings, motions, or other requests for relief in this Court related to Case No. 162012CF007413AXXXMA unless such filings are signed by a member of The Florida Bar in good standing. The petitioner is also directed to show cause why, pursuant to section 944.279(1), Florida Statutes, a certified copy of the Court's findings should not be forwarded to the appropriate institution for disciplinary procedures pursuant to the rules of the 2 Florida Department of Corrections as provided in section 944.09, Florida Statutes.
