Respondent.
A Case of Original Jurisdiction – Habeas Corpus
Luis La-Casse, in proper person.

Before FERNANDEZ, C.J., and LINDSEY, and GORDO, JJ.
ON ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
PER CURIAM.
On May 10, 2021, petitioner, Luis La-Casse, filed a petition for writ of
habeas corpus in this court. Upon review of the petition, we determined that
La-Casse had again filed a frivolous petition in our court. On May 11, 2021,
we ordered La-Casse to show cause why he shouldn’t be prohibited from
filing further pro se petitions, motions and appeals in this court, citing to our
warning in La-Casse v. Inch, 307 So. 3d 921 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020), wherein
we warned La-Casse that continued abuse of the judicial process would
result in an order prohibiting further pro se filings in our court. As we noted
in La-Casse, in 2018, petitioner was precluded from filing any further pro se
pleadings relating to trial court case number F04-29879. He appealed that
order and we affirmed.
Upon consideration of La-Casse’s response to our order to show cause
and the successive, duplicative, pro se petitions and appeals brought by La-
Casse, we conclude that good cause has not been shown. La-Casse has
engaged in the filing of meritless, frivolous, and successive claims,
continuing to seek relief from this Court notwithstanding prior adverse
determinations on the merits.
In accordance with State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999), and
Concepcion v. State, 944 So. 2d 1069 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006), La-Casse is
prohibited from filing any further pro se appeals, pleadings, motions, or
2
petitions relating to his conviction, judgment, and sentence in lower tribunal
cases F04-29879. We direct the Clerk of this Court to refuse to accept any
such papers relating to the specified circuit court case number unless they
have been reviewed and signed by an attorney who is a duly licensed
member of The Florida Bar in good standing. See Whipple v. State, 112 So.
3d 540 (Fla. 3d DCA 2013).
