Gordon v. Savitt

Supreme Court of Florida
Jan 23, 2008
975 So. 2d 428 (Fla. 2008)

Opinion

No. SC07-1915.

January 23, 2008.

Lower Tribunal No(s). 4D07-1665, 06-14983.


Petitioner has submitted an "Emergency Petition for Writs of Prohibition, Mandamus, Habeas Corpus and Certiorari" and supplement which this Court has treated as a petition for writ of mandamus. Because petitioner has failed to show a clear legal right to the relief requested, he is not entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby denied. See Huffman v. State, 813 So. 2d 10, 11 (Fla. 2000) (stating that in order to be entitled to a writ of mandamus, petitioner must show clear legal right to performance of requested act, that respondent has indisputable legal duty to perform that act, and that no other adequate remedy exists).

WELLS, ANSTEAD, QUINCE, CANTERO, and BELL, JJ., concur.
