Supreme Court of Florida

67 So. 3d 1049 (Fla. 2011)

Opinion

Case No. SC11-1239.

July 18, 2011.

Lower Tribunal No(s). 1D10-4597, 2007CA001412.


The petition to invoke all writs jurisdiction is dismissed.

To the extent the Petitioner is seeking this Court to issue an order vacating the district court's order, the petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Williams v. State, 913 So. 2d 541, 543-44 (Fla. 2005) (stating that "neither [petitioner] cites 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 petitions"); St. Paul Title Ins. Corp. v. Davis, 392 So. 2d 1304, 1305 (Fla. 1980) (holding that article V, section 3(b)( 7), Florida Constitution does not give this Court expanded appellate jurisdiction, and a petitioner may not seek all writs power as an independent basis of jurisdiction).

To the extent the Petitioner is seeking other relief, the petition is dismissed without prejudice to Petitioner to seek appropriate relief in the trial court.

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