Craig B. DANIELS, Petitioner v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
The petitioner has filed a petition for writ of prohibition with the Court. To the extent the petitioner seeks a writ of prohibition directed towards the district court, the petition is denied because the petitioner has failed to demonstrate that a lower court is attempting to act in excess of its jurisdiction. See Mandico v. Taos Constr., Inc., 605 So.2d 850 (Fla.1992); English v. McCrary, 348 So.2d 293 (Fla.1977). To the extent the petitioner seeks a writ of prohibition directed toward the circuit court, the petition is denied as successive. See Jenkins v. Wainwright, 322 So.2d 477, 478 (Fla.1975)(declaring that once a petitioner seeks relief in a particular court by means of a petition for extraordinary writ, he has picked his forum and is not entitled to a second or third opportunity for the same relief by the same writ in a different court).
