CALVIN JOSEPH Petitioner(s) v. STATE OF FLORIDA Respondent(s)
Lower Tribunal No(s).: 1D14-1756; 2014-64-CA
Because petitioner has failed to show a clear legal right to the relief requested, he is not entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby denied. See Huffman v. State, 813 So. 2d 10, 11 (Fla. 2000); see also Mathews v. Crews, 132 So. 3d 776 (Fla. 2014) (stating that "mandamus is neither the appropriate vehicle to seek review of an allegedly erroneous decision by another court, nor is it the proper vehicle to mandate the doing or undoing of a discretionary act" or "control or direct the manner in which another court shall act in the lawful exercise of its jurisdiction"). PARIENTE, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur. A True Copy
