WILSON v. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Denver Ivan WILSON, Petitioner, v. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent.

No. 1D19-2646

Decided: September 21, 2020

Denver Ivan Wilson, pro se, Petitioner. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Kristen J. Lonergan, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

The order under review was converted sua sponte to a petition for writ of certiorari. However, upon further review, the mandamus complaint filed in circuit court sought to compel certain administrative action. Because we find that the trial court's action was not the equivalent of judicial review of a disciplinary action, the case is not controlled by Sheley v. Florida Parole Commission, 720 So. 2d 216 (Fla. 1998). Regardless, we reach the same decision under review as a direct appeal. The denial of the mandamus complaint is affirmed.

Per Curiam.

Kelsey, M.K. Thomas, and Tanenbaum, JJ., concur.
