BRYANT v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Lavetta BRYANT, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.

No. 1D19-4654

Decided: March 24, 2020

Patrick McPhee of Anabelle Dias, P.A., Tallahassee, for Petitioner. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

Petitioner seeks review of the trial court’s determination that she is competent to proceed in the criminal case against her. That determination is reviewable on direct appeal. Cf. Zern v. State, 191 So. 3d 962 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016). In the absence of a showing of irreparable harm, then, we have no jurisdiction to consider this petition for certiorari and must dismiss. See Segura v. State, 272 So. 3d 805, 806 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019); see also Citizens Prop. Ins. Corp. v. San Perdido Ass’n, Inc., 104 So. 3d 344, 351 (Fla. 2012).

Dismissed.

Per Curiam.

Osterhaus, Jay, and Tanenbaum, JJ., concur.
