No. SC12–798.

James Bernard CAMPBELL, Petitioner(s) v. STATE of Florida, Respondent(s).


Because petitioner has failed to show that the respondent has a ministerial duty to order reinstatement of any motion pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby denied. See Huffman v. State, 813 So.2d 10, 11 (Fla.2000); see also Migliore v. City of Lauderhill, 415 So.2d 62, 63 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982) (stating that mandamus “is [not] proper to mandate the doing (or undoing) of a discretionary act”), approved, 431 So.2d 986 (Fla.1983).

POLSTON, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
