Supreme Court of Florida
Johnson v. State of Florida, SC07-668
A petition for a writ of mandamus seeking relief from an allegedly illegal sentence is dismissed as unauthorized where petitioner was represented by court-appointed counsel in a pending appeal involving the same conviction and sentence. The rule announced in Logan v. State, 846 So. 2d 472 (Fla. 2003), applies to pro se filings in the Supreme Court of Florida by litigants represented by counsel in criminal proceedings pending in a district court of appeal.
