Grant v. State

1 Citing case

  1. Gambrel v. Sampson

    330 So. 3d 114 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2021)   Cited 2 times

    A petition for a writ of mandamus is appropriately issued when a lower court fails to perform an indisputable, nondiscretionary ministerial duty. See, e.g. , Ledger v. City of St. Petersburg , 135 So. 3d 496, 497 (Fla. 2d DCA 2014) (holding that mandamus relief was warranted where the lower court failed to comply with a ministerial duty imposed by statute); Grant v. State , 257 So. 3d 1223, 1223 (Fla. 3d DCA 2018) (holding that a writ of mandamus was the proper remedy to compel the trial court to undertake its ministerial act); Hutto v. State , 201 So. 3d 725, 725 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016) (granting the petitioner's mandamus petition where the lower court had a ministerial duty to accept the petitioner's notice of appeal and transmit it to the appellate court); Palm Beach Marketplace, LLC v. Aleyda's Mexican Restaurante, Inc. , 103 So. 3d 911, 912 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012) (holding that the trial court had "a ministerial duty to provide the remedies set forth in the statute"). Mandamus has frequently been invoked to compel courts to enter judgments confirming arbitration awards when there is no discretion to do otherwise.
