Opinion

Case No. SC07-1045.

July 10, 2007.

Lower Tribunal No(s). 3D06-2835.


The petition to invoke all writs jurisdiction is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Williams v. State, 913 So. 2d 541, 543 (Fla. 2005) (stating that the all writs provision "does not constitute a separate source of original or appellate jurisdiction. Rather, it operates as an aid to the Court in exercising its `ultimate jurisdiction,' conferred elsewhere in the constitution."); St. Paul Title Ins. Corp. v. Davis, 392 So. 2d 1304, 1305 (Fla. 1980) (stating that "all writs provision of [article V,] section 3(b)( 7) [of the Florida Constitution] does not confer added appellate jurisdiction on this Court, and this Court's all writs power cannot be used as an independent basis of jurisdiction as petitioner is hereby seeking to use it.").

WELLS, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, QUINCE, and BELL, JJ., concur.
