Maurice WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
Maurice Williams, pro se, Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
Maurice Williams, pro se, Appellant.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
Per Curiam.
Maurice Williams appeals an order summarily dismissing his motion for postconviction relief filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Williams asserted that his convictions violated double jeopardy and that the basis for reclassification of his aggravated battery conviction was not orally announced. The trial court determined that his claims were not cognizable in a 3.800(a) motion. Finding no error by the trial court, we affirm.
We also conclude that this appeal is frivolous. This appeal marks Williams' fifth collateral attack on his 2013 judgment and sentence in Leon County Circuit Court Case Number 2012-CF-896. He appealed from orders denying postconviction relief in cases 1D14-5122, 1D17-0669, 1D18-0162, and 1D19-1729. Williams received no relief in any of these cases.
The Court warns Williams that any future filings that this Court determines to be frivolous may result in the imposition of sanctions, including a prohibition against any further pro se filings in this Court and a referral to the appropriate institution or facility of the Florida Department of Corrections for disciplinary procedures. See § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2021) (providing that "[a] prisoner who is found by a court to have brought a frivolous or malicious suit, action, claim, proceeding, or appeal ... or to have brought a frivolous or malicious collateral criminal proceeding ... is subject to disciplinary procedures pursuant to the rules of the Department of Corrections").
AFFIRMED .
