Ricky SLATER, Petitioner, v. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent.

Ricky Slater, pro se, Petitioner. Lance Eric Neff, General Counsel, and Daniel R. Burke, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Ricky Slater, pro se, Petitioner.

Lance Eric Neff, General Counsel, and Daniel R. Burke, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

Per Curiam.

The petition is facially deficient. Cf. Sheley v. Fla. Parole Comm'n , 720 So. 2d 216, 218 (Fla. 1998).

DISMISSED .

Jay and Tanenbaum, JJ., concur; Makar, J., concurs in result with opinion.

Makar, J., concurring in result.

Because pro se pleadings are given a liberal construction, Stokes v. Florida Dept. of Corr. , 948 So. 2d 75, 77 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007), Slater's petition is sufficient to conclude that he seeks certiorari relief based on a claim that the lower tribunal failed to apply the correct law. Slater's petition, however, should be denied on the merits because he has failed to establish the basis for this claim.
