Opinion
Case No. SC03-535.
June 18, 2003.
Lower Tribunal No. 87-12426.
The petition and amended petition for writ of habeas corpus are hereby transferred to the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County, Florida (Case No. 87-12426), for consideration as a motion to correct sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). The transfer of this case should not be construed as an adjudication or comment on the merits of the petitions, nor as a determination that the transferee court has jurisdiction or that the petitions should be considered as a motion to correct sentence. The transferee court should not interpret the transfer of this case as an indication that it must or should reach the merits of the petitions. The transferee court shall treat the petitions as if they had been originally filed there on the date they were filed in this Court. If necessary, any determination concerning whether a filing fee shall be applicable to this case shall be made by the transferee court. Petitioner's "Request to Expedite Proceedings," which has been treated as a motion to expedite, is hereby denied as moot.
