Opinion
No. SC06-2307.
April 4, 2007.
Lower Tribunal No. 5D06-2568.
To the extent that petitioner sought an order directing the Circuit Court of the Fifth Judicial Circuit, in and for Lake County, Florida, to award the claimed jail time credit, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby denied. State ex rel. North St. Lucie River Drainage Dist. v. Kanner, 11 So. 2d 889 (Fla. 1943) (stating that mandamus cannot be used to compel a court to rule in a certain way in the lawful exercise of its jurisdiction); see also 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).
To the extent that petitioner sought an order directing respondent to award the claimed jail time credit, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby denied. Huffman v. State, 813 So. 2d 10 (Fla. 2000).
