3rd DCAAugust 14, 2026Pro Se Filing Bar Imposed as Sanction⭐ Notable

Lance Lavallee, et al. v. Andre McIntosh, et al.

Case No. 2026-1542

Exercising its inherent authority to police abuse of the judicial process, the Third District barred a pro se appellant from making any further filings in his appeal from a default final judgment of possession and directed the clerk to refuse any paper not reviewed and signed by a licensed Florida attorney. The sanction followed more than sixty filings in under a month, an explicit prior warning, and a show cause order to which the appellant responded only by repeating previously rejected arguments.
