ROBERTO SANTIAGO Petitioner(s) v. STATE OF FLORIDA Respondent(s)
The petition to invoke all writs jurisdiction is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the petitioner has failed to cite an independent basis that would allow the Court to exercise its all writs authority and no such basis is apparent on the face of the petition. See Williams v. State, 913 So. 2d 541, 543-44 (Fla. 2005); St. Paul Title Ins. Corp. v. Davis, 392 So. 2d 1304, 1305 (Fla. 1980); see also Grate v. State, 750 So. 2d 625, 626 (Fla. 1999)(regardless of how a petition seeking review of a district court decision is styled, this Court does not have jurisdiction to review per curiam decisions rendered without opinion and this Court's holding in Jenkins v. State, 385 So. 2d 1356 (Fla. 1980), cannot be circumvented simply by seeking relief by filing an extraordinary writ petition).
To the extent that petitioner has sought relief by a petition for writ of prohibition, that petition is hereby denied. See English v. McCrary, 348 So. 2d 293 (Fla. 1977). PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, and LABARGA, JJ., concur. A True Copy
