Wendall Jermaine HALL, Petitioner(s) v. Kenneth S. TUCKER, etc., Respondent(s).
Petitioner has submitted a “Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and or Petition for Writ of Mandamus,” which the Court has treated as a petition for writ of habeas corpus. To the extent petitioner seeks mandamus relief against the First District Court of Appeal, because petitioner has failed to show a clear legal right to the relief requested, the petition is hereby denied. See Huffman v. State, 813 So.2d 10, 11 (Fla.2000). To the extent petitioner seeks habeas corpus relief, because this Court will generally not consider the repetitive petitions of persons who have abused the judicial processes of the lower courts such that they have been barred from filing certain actions there, the petition is hereby dismissed. See Pettway v. State, 776 So.2d 930, 931 (Fla.2000). To the extent petitioner seeks other mandamus relief, the petition is hereby dismissed without prejudice to seek relief in the appropriate court. Petitioner's Motion for Appointment of Counsel is hereby denied.
