Weekley v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 23, 2009 · Wells, Shepherd, Schwartz
20 So. 3d 912; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 14323; 2009 WL 3012316 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Weekley v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

WELLS, J., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge, concur.

Dissenting Opinion

SHEPHERD, J.,

dissenting.

On this appeal, Defendant, Jeffrey Alan Weekley, contends the trial court erred by prematurely entering an order prohibiting Defendant from filing future pro se motions without considering his response to a show cause order.

The record reflects, and the State concedes, the trial court did not have a copy of Defendant’s response to its order to show cause when it issued an order prohibiting Defendant from filing future pro se motions. The trial court issued the show cause order May 21, 2008. The clerk of the trial court did not mail a copy of the order to Defendant until June 17. On July 1, Defendant mailed a motion for rehear*913ing and response to the show cause order to the trial court. A review of the docket reflects the clerk docketed Defendant’s motion for rehearing July 10, but did not docket the response. One day prior, on July 9, the trial court entered an order prohibiting Defendant from filing any further pro se motions.

I would vacate the July 9 order so the trial court can consider Defendant’s Response to Order to Show Cause.

I express no opinion on the merits of the matter.
