Full title: Benneth NWANGWU, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent

Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District

Date published: Dec 9, 2005

919 So. 2d 488 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2005)

Opinion

No. 1D05-4430.

November 21, 2005. Rehearing Denied December 9, 2005.

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus — Original Jurisdiction.

Benneth Nwangwu, petitioner, pro se.

Charlie Crist, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for respondent.

Leonard T. Helfand, Associate General Counsel, Tallahassee, for respondent Florida State University.

PER CURIAM.

Because it appears that petitioner is represented by appointed counsel in the lower tribunal, the pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed as unauthorized. See Logan v. State, 846 So.2d 472 (Fla. 2003). Even overlooking this defect, however, we conclude that the petition is legally insufficient to demonstrate an entitlement to habeas corpus relief.

PETITION DISMISSED.

DAVIS, BROWNING and LEWIS, JJ., concur.
