Petition for Writ of Certiorari—Original Jurisdiction.
Timothy E. White, pro se, Petitioner. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM.
The petition for writ of certiorari is treated as a petition for writ of prohibition. See Hunter v. Moore, 781 So.2d 491 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001) (stating that prohibition is a proper remedy to challenge the denial of a motion to dismiss based on an alleged speedy trial violation).
The petition for writ of prohibition is denied on the merits. See State v. Bowers, 1 So.3d 1120 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009) (stating that the speedy trial time was waived by continuances requested by defendant and delays attributable to defendant).
