| Subtype | Mandamus Deny |
| Description | To the extent Petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus, he has failed to show a clear legal right to relief and the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby denied. See Huffman v. State, 813 So. 2d 10, 11 (Fla. 2000). To the extent Petitioner seeks a writ of prohibition, the petition is hereby denied because Petitioner has failed to demonstrate that a lower court is attempting to act in excess of its jurisdiction. See Mandico v. Taos Constr., Inc., 605 So. 2d 850 (Fla. 1992); English v. McCrary, 348 So. 2d 293 (Fla. 1997). Any other pending motions or requests for relief are denied.

| Description | PROHIBITED from further pro se filings ~ ORDERED that on November 4, 2022, this Court ordered appellants to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed. Having considered appellants' response, we determine that sanctions are appropriate. For the reasons set forth in the order to show cause, we now impose sanctions pursuant to State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999). Appellants have filed successive and frivolous motions with this Court without raising any claims of merit. The Clerk of this Court is directed to no longer accept any paper filed by Francis Knize and Michael Waters unless the document has been reviewed and signed by a member in good standing of the Florida Bar who certified that a good faith basis exists for each claim presented.

| Description | Deny Miscellaneous Motion ~ ORDERED that appellants' October 27, 2022 motion to vacate and October 31, 2022 amended motion to vacate are denied. Further, ORDERED that this court finds the motions to be frivolous and reserves jurisdiction to consider sanctions. Appellants have filed numerous excessive and meritless motions targeting the Clerk of the Court, when this court has already explained in its March 8, March 11, and June 1, 2022 orders that the clerk signs a published order to attest that it is the order of the court. Appellants were previously warned per this court's March 11 and June 1, 2022 orders of excessive motion practice. Despite these warnings, appellants have disregarded this court’s warning and continue to abuse the appellate process. Appellants are now directed to show cause within twenty (20) days of service of this order why this court should not impose the sanction of no longer accepting their pro se filings. State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999). |
