Lewis v. State

Supreme Court of Florida.
Aug 21, 2015
177 So. 3d 1268 (Fla. 2015)

Opinion

No. SC15–673.

08-21-2015

James LEWIS, Petitioner(s) v. STATE of Florida, Respondent(s).


Opinion

The petitioner has filed a petition for writ of mandamus with the Court. To the extent the petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus, the petition is denied because the petitioner has failed to show a clear legal right to the relief requested. See Huffman v. State, 813 So.2d 10, 11 (Fla.2000). To the extent the petitioner seeks the type of relief available in a motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), the petition is dismissed because this Court generally will not consider the repetitive petitions of persons who have abused the judicial processes of the lower courts such that they have been barred from filing certain actions there. See Pettway v. State, 776 So.2d 930, 931 (Fla.2000). No rehearing will be entertained by this Court.

PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
