Lane v. State

Supreme Court of Florida
Sep 15, 2005
913 So. 2d 597 (Fla. 2005)

Opinion

Case No. SC05-800.

September 15, 2005.


The petition for writ of habeas corpus has been treated as a petition for writ of mandamus, and because petitioner has failed to show a clear legal right to the reinstatement of his appeal, 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 that he has a clear legal right to performance of the requested act, that respondent has an indisputable legal duty to perform that act, and that no other adequate remedy exists).

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