To the extent Petitioner seeks to compel action by the Department of Corrections, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby transferred, pursuant to Harvard v. Singletary, 733 So.2d 1020 (Fla. 1999), to the Circuit Court of the Eighth Judicial Circuit in and for Alachua County, Florida.

The transferee court shall treat the petition as if it had been originally filed there on the date it was filed in this Court. Any determination concerning whether a filing fee shall be applicable to this case shall be made by the transferee court.
