Tera B. Lau, Petitioner(s) v. Rachel Stephens, Respondent(s)


Lower Tribunal No(s).: 5D2023-2790; 642023DR031941XXXXCI

Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Mandamus is hereby dismissed. This Court's jurisdiction to issue extraordinary writs may not be used to seek review of an unelaborated decision from a district court of appeal that is issued without opinion or explanation or that merely cites to an authority that is not a case pending review in, or reversed or quashed by, this Court. See Foley v. State, 969 So.2d 283 (Fla. 2007); Persaud v. State, 838 So.2d 529 (Fla. 2003); Stallworth v. Moore, 827 So.2d 974 (Fla. 2002); Grate v. State, 750 So.2d 625 (Fla. 1999). Additionally, this Court's jurisdiction to issue extraordinary writs may not be used to seek review of an order from a district court of appeal denying a request for a written opinion. See R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. v. Kenyon, 882 So.2d 986 (Fla. 2004).

No motion for rehearing or reinstatement will be entertained by the Court.
