    Gary Lee WILLIAMS, Petitioner, v. The STATE of Florida, et al., Respondents.
    No. 3D13-739.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Aug. 21, 2013.
    Rehearing Denied Oct. 4, 2013.
    Gary Lee Williams, in proper person.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for respondents.
    Before SHEPHERD, C.J., and LAGOA and FERNANDEZ, JJ.
   ON ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

SHEPHERD, C.J.

On March 14, 2013, Petitioner, Gary Lee Williams, filed a “Petition for Writ of Ha-beas Corpus Alleging Ineffective Assistance of Appellate Counsel” with this court. On April 4, 2013, we denied Williams’ petition and ordered him to show cause why he should not be prohibited from filing further pro se pleadings with this court concerning his February 1990 conviction and sentence arising from lower tribunal case number 88-33341. After carefully considering Williams’ response to this court’s show cause order, see State v. Spencer, 751 So.2d 47 (Fla.1999), and having reviewed the record, we now prohibit Williams from filing any additional pro se appeals, pleadings, motions, or petitions relating to these convictions and sentences.

FACTS

In May 1989, Williams was indicted for Count I, first-degree murder; Count II, attempted first-degree murder; and Count III, unlawful possession of a firearm while engaged in a criminal offense. After a jury trial, Williams was convicted of Counts I and III and was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum mandatory term of twenty-five years for the first-degree murder conviction. This court affirmed the convictions and sentences on direct appeal. Williams v. State, 591 So.2d 319 (Fla. 3d DCA 1991).

Since 1990, Williams has filed numerous petitions or motions for postconviction relief stemming from lower tribunal case number 88-33341. In the current appeal, Williams argues his appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to “discover fundamental error in instructing the jury on manslaughter -without ... defining the terms excusable or justifiable homicide, which, if raised in [the] merits brief, would have resulted in a new trial.” In his response to this court’s show cause order, Williams acknowledges “the claim submitted here is successive,” but contends, “frivolous it is not[.]” We disagree. Were the facts as Williams would have us believe, there indeed might be merit to his argument. However, they are not. After careful review of the exhaustive filings by Williams, and after thorough review of the case law, we disagree with Williams’ view that this latest proceeding is not frivolous. In fact, of the multiple cases Williams has filed with this court, none have been found to be meritorious.

FRIVOLOUS APPEALS BY PRISONERS

“We recognize that incarcerated persons should and do have a full panoply of procedural vehicles with which to challenge the lawfulness of their incarcerations.” Edwards v. State, 96 So.3d 1154, 1155 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012) (quoting Hepburn v. State, 934 So.2d 515, 517 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005)). There is, however, no constitutional right to file a frivolous lawsuit. See Hepburn, 934 So.2d at 517-18; see also Villalobos v. State, 96 So.3d 970, 971 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012). As this court stated in Edwards v. State, 96 So.3d 1154, 1155 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012), and Middleton v. State, 95 So.3d 385, 388 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012), “there comes a point where enough is enough.” Based upon careful review of Williams’ filings in this court, we believe he has reached that point.

CONCLUSION

We direct the Clerk of the Third District Court of Appeal to refuse to accept for filing in this court all further appeals, pleadings, motions, petitions, or other papers to Williams’ convictions and sentences in lower tribunal case number 88-33341, unless they are filed by a Florida Bar member in good standing.

Finally, we direct the Clerk to forward a certified copy of this opinion to the Department of Corrections for consideration by that institution of disciplinary measures against Williams, pursuant to sections 944.279(1) and 944.28(2)(a), Florida Statutes (2010). See Pettway v. McNeil, 987 So.2d 20 (Fla.2008).
