LONG v. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS (2022)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Rubin LONG, Petitioner, v. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent.

No. 1D21-3929

Decided: June 08, 2022

Rubin Long, pro se, Petitioner. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Kelly R. Forren, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

As Petitioner seeks belated appeal of a circuit court order entered in an appellate proceeding in a civil matter, the Court denies the petition for lack of jurisdiction. See Perez v. Jones, 174 So. 3d 1088 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (explaining that this Court does not have the authority to grant belated appeal in a civil proceeding and does not have authority to grant belated certiorari review). Petitioner may seek relief in the lower tribunal. See generally, Milord v. Fla. Parole Comm'n, 4 So. 3d 762 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009) (Browning, J., concurring).

Per Curiam.

Osterhaus, Bilbrey, and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur.
