Edward R. STEINER, Petitioner(s) v. STATE of Florida, Respondent(s).
Petitioner has submitted a “Petition for Writ of Mandamus/Prohibition/Habeas Corpus ...,” 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 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). To the extent petitioner seeks prohibitory relief, because petitioner has failed to demonstrate that a lower court is attempting to act in excess of its jurisdiction, the petition is hereby denied. See Mandico v. Taos Constr., Inc., 605 So.2d 850 (Fla.1992); English v. McCrary, 348 So.2d 293 (Fla.1977).
