Opinion
No. SC12–427.

Nyka O'CONNOR, Petitioner(s) v. Sergeant WATTS, et al., Respondent(s).
Because petitioner has failed to show a clear legal right to the relief requested, he is not entitled to mandamus relief. See Huffman v. State, 813 So.2d 10, 11 (Fla.2000); see also State ex rel. North St. Lucie River Drainage Dist. v. Kanner, 11 So.2d 889, 890 (Fla.1943) (stating a writ of mandamus cannot be issued to direct the manner in which a court shall act in the lawful exercise of its jurisdiction); Migliore v. City of Lauderhill, 415 So.2d 62, 63 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982) (stating that mandamus “is not an appropriate vehicle for review of a merely erroneous decision nor is it proper to mandate the doing (or undoing) of a discretionary act”), approved, 431 So.2d 986 (Fla.1983).
Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby denied.
