FIFTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL

STATE OF FLORIDA

_____________________________

Case No. 5D2025-3682

LT Case No. 2005-CF-001831-A

_____________________________

NATHANIEL BROWN,

Petitioner,

v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

Respondent.

_____________________________

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus,

A Case of Original Jurisdiction.

Nathaniel Brown, Raiford, pro se.

No Appearance for Respondent.

January 23, 2026

PER CURIAM.

This court previously entered an order denying what

amounted to Nathaniel Brown’s petition for writ of habeas corpus.

Due to Brown’s apparent abuse of the legal process by his

repetitive and frivolous pro se filings attacking his conviction and

sentence entered in 2005 in Duval County Circuit Court case

number 16-2005-CF-001831-A, 1 we issued an order dated

December 11, 2025, directing Brown to show cause why he should

not be barred from filing in this court any appeal, petition,

pleading, or motion pertaining to his conviction and sentence

rendered in Duval County Circuit Court case number 16-2005-CF-

001831-A unless reviewed and signed by an attorney licensed to

practice law in the State of Florida.

Having carefully considered Brown’s response and finding

that it fails to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed,

we conclude that Brown is abusing the judicial process and should

be barred from further pro se filings in this case. Therefore, in

order to conserve judicial resources, Nathaniel Brown is prohibited

from filing with this Court any further pro se filings concerning

Duval County Circuit Court Case No. 16-2005-CF-001831-A. The

Clerk of this Court is directed not to accept any further pro se

filings concerning the referenced case. The Clerk will summarily

reject any future filings regarding the referenced case unless filed

by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar. See Isley v.

State, 652 So. 2d 409, 411 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995) (“Enough is

enough.”).

PETITIONER, NATHANIEL BROWN, PROHIBITED

FROM FUTURE PRO SE FILINGS.

WALLIS, LAMBERT, and BOATWRIGHT, JJ., concur.
