DEVIN BOWDEN Petitioner(s) v. STATE OF FLORIDA Respondent(s)
The order to show cause why the petition should not be dismissed as unauthorized, issued by the Court on October 7, 2013, is hereby discharged.
Petitioner has submitted a letter which this Court has treated as a petition for writ of mandamus. The petition is hereby transferred, pursuant to Harvard v. Singletary, 733 So. 2d 1020 (Fla. 1999), to the Circuit Court of the First Judicial Circuit, in and for Santa Rosa County, Florida. 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 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 case shall be made by the transferee court. Any and all pending motions in this case are hereby deferred to the transferee court.
Any future pleadings filed regarding this case should be filed in the above mentioned circuit court at 6495 Caroline Street, Milton, Florida 32570. A True Copy
