Jarius A. McTaggart, Appellant, v. The State of Florida, Appellee.
Jarius A. McTaggart, in proper person. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, for appellee.
Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Thomas Rebull, Judge.
Jarius A. McTaggart, in proper person.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, for appellee. Before SHEPHERD, C.J., and LAGOA and FERNANDEZ, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Jarius McTaggart appeals from the denial of his motion to correct illegal sentence pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800. The trial court denied McTaggart's Rule 3.800 motion on February 20, 2014. McTaggart's notice of appeal as to this ruling, which was dated April 11, 2004, was untimely, and therefore we dismiss the appeal on the Rule 3.800 motion.
Subsequently, the trial court granted the State's request for a finding that McTaggart has abused the judicial process by continued filing of frivolous pleadings and for entry of an order to show cause why the court should no longer accept McTaggart's pro se pleadings. On April 4, 2014, after considering McTaggart's response to the show cause order, the trial court entered an order prohibiting further pro se filings. McTaggart claims the trial court erred in so ordering. We disagree and affirm the trial court order.
Dismissed in part; affirmed in part.
