Cummings v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District
Apr 9, 2009
6 So. 3d 715 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2009)

Opinion

No. 5D09-123.

April 9, 2009.

Petition for Writ of Prohibition, J. David Walsh, Respondent Judge.

Ronnie J. Cummings, Graceville, pro se.

No Appearance for Respondent.


Petitioner seeks a writ of prohibition to preclude the trial court from proceeding to trial in his case, contending that he is entitled to discharge pursuant to the speedy trial rule. Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.191.

This Court cannot review by prohibition the speedy trial issue until the trial court has denied a motion for discharge. The order denying discharge should be included in an appendix attached to the petition. Accordingly, we deny the petition for prohibition without prejudice to file a motion for discharge in the circuit court. Barstad v. State, 925 So.2d 1135, 1136 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006).

PETITION DENIED.

TORPY, LAWSON and EVANDER, JJ., concur.
