Opinion

Case No. SC06-1386.

September 11, 2006.

Lower Tribunal No. 5D05-3730.


Because a writ of mandamus cannot be issued to direct the manner in which a court shall act in the lawful exercise of its jurisdiction, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. State ex rel. North St. Lucie River Drainage Dist. v. Kanner, 152 Fla. 400, 403, 11 So. 2d 889, 890 (Fla. 1943); see also Migliore v. City of Lauderhill, 415 So. 2d 62, 63 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982) (stating that mandamus "is [not] proper to mandate the doing (or undoing) of a discretionary act"), approved, 431 So. 2d 986 (Fla. 1983).

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