The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “It is well-settled that courts have the inherent authority and duty to limit abuses of the judicial process by pro se litigants. See In re McDonald, 489 U.S. 180, 184 , 109 S.Ct. 993 , 103 L.Ed.2d 158 (1989) (preventing petitioner, who had filed 99 extraordinary writs, from proceeding informa pauperis when seeking future such writs, because “part of the Court’s responsibility is to see that [limited] resources are allocated in a way that promotes the interests of justice”); Peterson v. State, 817 So.2d 838, 840 (Fla.2002) (limiting petitioner’s ability to file in pursuance of court’s “responsibility to ensure every citizen’s right of access to,the courts”); Jackson v. Fla. Dept of Corrections, 790 So.2d 398, 400 (Fla.2001) (holding, that supreme court “has the inherent authority to limit [the] right [to, represent oneself] when pro se litigation becomes so disruptive that it threatens to deny other litigants their rights”).”
