GREGORY MONROE Petitioner(s) v. MICHAEL D. CREWS, ETC. Respondent(s)
Petitioner has submitted a "Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and/or Petition to Invoke All Writs Jurisdiction," which the Court has treated as a petition for writ of habeas corpus. To the extent petitioner seeks habeas relief, because the Court has determined that relief is not authorized, this case is hereby dismissed. See Baker v. State, 878 So. 2d 1236 (Fla. 2004). To the extent petitioner seeks to invoke this Court's all writs jurisdiction, the petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because petitioner has failed to cite an independent basis that would allow the Court to exercise its all writs authority and no such basis is apparent on the face of the petition. See Williams v. State, 913 So. 2d 541, 543-44 (Fla. 2005); St. Paul Title Ins. Corp. v. Davis, 392 So. 2d 1304, 1305 (Fla. 1980). To the extent petitioner seeks mandamus relief, because petitioner has failed to show a clear legal right to the relief requested, he is not entitled to mandamus relief, and the petition is hereby denied. See Huffman v. State, 813 So. 2d 10, 11 (Fla. 2000). Any motions or other requests for relief are also denied. QUINCE, CANADY, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur. PARIENTE, J., would request responses.
