Opinion
Case No. SC02-773.
January 12, 2005.
Lower Tribunal No. 4D01-1285.
Petitioner has filed a "Letter/Motion," which was initially treated as a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Upon consideration, the petition is treated as a petition for writ of mandamus and is hereby denied. See Huffman v. State, 813 So. 2d 10, 11 (Fla. 2000) (holding that in order to be entitled to a writ of mandamus, the petitioner must show that he has a clear legal right to performance of the requested act, that the respondent has an indisputable legal duty to perform that act, and that no other adequate remedy exists); State v. Petteway, 117 So. 696 (Fla. 1928) (mandamus may not be used to correct alleged error or to compel a court to exercise its discretion in any particular way). The "Motion for Court Assistance" is also denied.
WELLS, LEWIS, QUINCE and BELL, JJ., concur.
ANSTEAD, J., would request a response.
