Ancrum v. McNeil, 15 So. 3d 619, 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 7191, 2009 WL 1589417 (Fla. Ct. App. 2009).

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

By timely petition for writ of certiorari, Arnold Ancrum seeks review of the denial of his petition for writ of mandamus, in which he sought an order directing that he be transferred to a correctional institution closer to his family. In accordance with Oscar v. Florida Department of Corrections, 973 So.2d 596 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008), we treat this proceeding as an appeal of a final order. On the merits, the circuit court correctly determined that Ancrum does not have a clear legal right to a transfer to any particular correctional institution, and that mandamus will therefore not lie to compel that result.

AFFIRMED.

WOLF, WEBSTER, and CLARK, JJ., concur.
