People v. Austin

As trial court determined Defendant to be a vexatious litigant, having filed numerous frivolous pleadings since entered prison 15 years ago, clerk was ordered to not accept any further pleadings from Defendant for filing unless he had obtained leave of court, but Defendant continued to mail petitions to court, the most recent of which circuit clerk sealed. Defendant pro se filed notice of appeal, but as his petition was never filed, appellate court lacks jurisdiction over appeal as it did not result from final judgment. Defendant ordered to show why sanctions should not be entered against him for filing of this frivolous appeal. (POPE and APPLETON, concurring.)
