Opinion

No. SC07-340.

May 31, 2007.

Lower Tribunal No. 2D06-4515.


To the extent that petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus, the petition is hereby denied as successive. See Jenkins v. Wainwright, 322 So. 2d 477, 478 (Fla. 1975) (declaring that once a petitioner seeks relief in a particular court by means of a petition for extraordinary writ, he has picked his forum and is not entitled to a second or third opportunity for the same relief by the same writ in a different court).

To the extent that petitioner seeks declaratory judgment and injunctive relief, the petition is hereby dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

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