Barry McIntosh v. Mark S. Inch, Secretary, Department of Corrections

Opinion

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________

No. 1D20-599 _____________________________

BARRY MCINTOSH,

Petitioner,

v.

MARK S. INCH, Secretary, Department of Corrections,

Respondent. _____________________________

Petition for Writ of Certiorari—Original Jurisdiction.

September 22, 2021

PER CURIAM.

The Court denies the petition for writ of certiorari on the merits. See Topps v. State, 865 So. 2d 1253, 1258 (Fla. 2004) (explaining that a decision on an extraordinary writ petition that “clearly shows that the issue was considered by the court on the merits” is deemed a decision “which would later bar the litigant from presenting the issue under the doctrines of res judicata or collateral estoppel”).

LEWIS, MAKAR, and BILBREY, JJ., concur. _____________________________

Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________

Barry McIntosh, pro se, Petitioner.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Gecelyne S. Dixon, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
