JONES v. HARRISON (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Willie JONES, Petitioner, v. Mike HARRISON, Sheriff of Gulf County, Respondent.

No. 1D21-0485

Decided: May 12, 2021

Jack A. Fleischman of Fleischman & Fleischman, P.A., West Palm Beach, for Petitioner. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Trisha Meggs Pate, Bureau Chief, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

The court denies the petition for writ of habeas corpus on the merits. See Bowens v. Tyson, 578 So. 2d 696, 697 (Fla. 1991) (“If between the filing of the motion to release and the hearing the state files an information or an indictment, the purpose of the rule is served.”); cf. Ford v. Campbell, 697 So. 2d 1301, 1303 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997) (denying habeas corpus petition because the State had filed an information by the time of the hearing on the petitioner's motion for release).

Per Curiam.

Lewis, Tanenbaum, and Long, JJ., concur.
