958 So. 2d 920 (Fla. 2007)

Opinion

No. SC07-736.

May 23, 2007.

Lower Tribunal Nos. 2005 CA 001674, 1D06-2114.


The petition to invoke all writs jurisdiction is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Williams v. State, 913 So.2d 541, 543-44 (Fla. 2005) (stating that "[i]n the present cases . . . 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) (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 CANTERO, JJ., concur.
