930 So. 2d 622 (Fla. 2006)

Opinion

Case No. SC05-639.

April 27, 2006.

Lower Tribunal No. 2D04-5506.


Petitioner has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus. To the extent that petitioner requests that this Court compel the Second District Court of Appeal to enter a written order or opinion explaining the basis for its dismissal of Norton v. Bungay, case number 2D04-5506, the petition is denied. See Huffman v. State, 813 So. 2d 10, 11 (Fla. 2000) (holding that in order to be entitled to a writ of mandamus, the petitioner must show that he has a clear legal right to performance of the requested act, that the respondent has an indisputable legal duty to perform that act, and that no other adequate remedy exists); School Bd. of Pinellas County. v. District Court of Appeal, 467 So. 2d 985 (Fla. 1985) (holding that this Court is without authority to require a district court of appeal to issue a written opinion). To the extent that the petition seeks reinstatement of case number 2D04-5506, the petition is dismissed for failure to state a cause upon which relief can be granted.

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