Opinion

Case No. SC10-271.

May 24, 2010.

Lower Tribunal No(s). CR00-2635.


To the extent that petitioner seeks to invoke this 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 immediate release in the nature of a writ of habeas corpus, the petition is hereby dismissed pursuant to Topps v. State, 865 So. 2d 1253 (Fla. 2004). See Tuff v. McDonough, 962 So. 2d 340 (Fla. 2007) (table).

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