Supreme Court of Florida.

135 So. 3d 289 (Fla. 2014)

Opinion

No. SC13–863.

2014-01-9

Willie A. SCULLOCK, II, Petitioner(s) v. STATE of Florida, Respondent(s).


Because a writ of mandamus cannot be issued to direct the manner in which a court shall act in the lawful exercise of its jurisdiction, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. State ex rel. North St. Lucie River Drainage Dist. v. Kanner, 11 So.2d 889, 890 (Fla.1943); see also Migliore v. City of Lauderhill, 415 So.2d 62, 63 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982) (stating that mandamus “is not an appropriate vehicle for review of a merely erroneous decision nor is it proper to mandate the doing (or undoing) of a discretionary act”), approved, 431 So.2d 986 (Fla.1983). Petitioner's “Motion to Supplement Writ Appendix Second DCA Opinion & Mandate Documents” is hereby denied.

PARIENTE, QUINCE, CANADY, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
