Jack MCFARLAND, Petitioner, v. FLORIDA COMMISSION ON OFFENDER REVIEW and Florida Department of Corrections, Respondents.
Jack McFarland, pro se, Petitioner. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee; Rana Wallace, General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
Jack McFarland, pro se, Petitioner.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee; Rana Wallace, General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM.
Because the proceedings in the circuit court were civil in nature, the court lacks authority to grant a belated appeal. See Powell v. Florida Department of Corrections , 727 So.2d 1103 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999). Accordingly, the petition seeking belated appeal is DENIED, and petitioner's motion for extension of time to file a petition for writ of certiorari is DENIED as moot.
