Garry Coleman, pro se, Petitioner.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Kelly R. Forren and Gecelyne S. Dixon, Assistant Attorneys General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

Per Curiam. The petition for writ of certiorari is denied on the merits. See Topps v. State , 865 So. 2d 1253, 1258 (Fla. 2004) (explaining that a decision on an extraordinary writ petition that "clearly shows that the issue was considered by the court on the merits" is deemed a decision "which would later bar the litigant from presenting the issue under the doctrines of res judicata or collateral estoppel").

B.L. Thomas, Roberts, and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur.
