Melvin PEREZ, Petitioner, v. FLORIDA DEPT. OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent.

Melvin Perez, pro se, Petitioner. Lance Eric Neff, General Counsel, and Beverly Brewster, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Melvin Perez, pro se, Petitioner.

Lance Eric Neff, General Counsel, and Beverly Brewster, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

Per Curiam.

The Court denies the petition for writ of certiorari 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").

Roberts, Ray, and Bilbrey, JJ., concur.
