David Terrence STEPHENS, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Appellee.

David Terrence Stephens, pro se, Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Kelly R. Forren, Assistant Attorney General, and Lance Eric Neff, General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


David Terrence Stephens, pro se, Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Kelly R. Forren, Assistant Attorney General, and Lance Eric Neff, General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Per Curiam.

Appellant seeks review from a circuit court order dismissing his petition for writ of mandamus as untimely. Appellant argued there were due process errors in several disciplinary proceedings, many of them years old. We affirm because none of the challenged proceedings occurred within thirty days of the date that Appellant filed his petition as required by section 95.11(8), Fla. Stat. (2020) ("Any action challenging prisoner disciplinary proceedings shall be barred by the court unless it is commenced within the time period provided by this section.").

AFFIRMED .

Lewis, Tanenbaum, and Long, JJ., concur.
