Opinion
Case No. SC11-149.
March 3, 2011.
Lower Tribunal No(s). 5D10-545, 05-2007-MH-019713-X.
The petition for writ of mandamus is hereby denied. To the extent the petitioner seeks reinstatement of Case No. 5D10-545, the petition is denied because the petitioner has failed to establish that he has a clear legal right to the relief sought. See Huffman v. State, 813 So. 2d 10, 11 (Fla. 2000). To the extent the petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus directed at the circuit court, the petition is hereby 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).
PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
