Davis v. State

Supreme Court of Florida
May 27, 2008
984 So. 2d 1250 (Fla. 2008)

Opinion

No. SC08-538.

May 27, 2008.

Lower Tribunal No(s). 5D08-8.


Because petitioner has failed to show a clear legal right to the relief requested, he is not entitled to mandamus relief. Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140(h)(3) does not apply to postconviction proceedings. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby denied. See Huffman v. State, 813 So. 2d 10, 11 (Fla. 2000) (stating that in order to be entitled to a writ of mandamus, petitioner must show clear legal right to performance of requested act, that respondent has indisputable legal duty to perform that act, and that no other adequate remedy exists).

ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, QUINCE, CANTERO, and BELL, JJ., concur.
