Opinion
Case No. SC02-2740, Lower Tribunal No. 2D02-1093.
January 16, 2003.
Petitioner has submitted a pleading which this Court has treated as a petition for a writ of mandamus. The petition is hereby transferred, pursuant to Harvard v. Singletary, 733 So.2d 1020 (Fla. 1999), to the District Court of Appeal, Second District, for consideration in the context of 2D02-1093. The transfer of this case should not be construed as an adjudication or comment on the merits of the petition, nor as a determination that the transferee court has jurisdiction or that the petition has been properly denominated as a petition for a writ of mandamus. The transferee court should not interpret the transfer of this case as an indication that it must or should reach the merits of the petition. The transferee court shall treat the petition as if it had been originally filed there on the date it was filed in this Court. Any determination concerning whether a filing fee shall be applicable to this petition shall be made by the transferee court.
