Lee v. Florida Department of Corrections

In this appeal, James Arthur Lee seeks review of an order of the Circuit Court for Bradford County which dismissed his mandamus complaint for failure to pay the filing fee or submit the paperwork necessary to obtain a waiver of that fee. Although this courts fee has neither been paid nor waived, Lee filed a motion for injunctive relief against certain officials or staff members of the Florida Department of Corrections. In processing that motion, it came to this courts attention that Lee has been an extremely active litigator in this court whose cases have required substantial expenditure of staff resources without any meaningful result. An order was issued which directed Lees attention to the fact that his 43 cases filed with this court since February 2002 had yielded no relief to him and asked him to show cause why he should not be barred from henceforth appearing in proper person before this court.
