Supreme Court of Florida.

116 So. 3d 384 (Fla. 2013)

Opinion

No. SC12–2451.

2013-04-30

Tyrone TAYLOR, Petitioner(s) v. STATE of Florida, Respondent(s).


To the extent that the petitioner seeks to invoke the Court's all writs jurisdiction, the petition is hereby 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).

To the extent that the petitioner seeks a writ of habeas corpus, the petition is hereby denied as successive. See Jenkins v. Wainwright, 322 So.2d 477, 478 (Fla.1975) (declaring that once a petitioner seeks relief in a particular court by means of a petition for extraordinary writ, he has picked his forum and is not entitled to a second or third opportunity for the same relief by the same writ in a different court).

PARIENTE, LEWIS, CANADY, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
