Opinion

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________

No. 1D2023-0484 _____________________________

CLINTON FIELDS,

Petitioner,

v.

FLORIDA COMMISSION ON OFFENDER REVIEW,

Respondent. _____________________________

Petition for Writ of Certiorari—Original Jurisdiction.

May 1, 2024

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner seeks certiorari review of the circuit court’s denial of the writ of mandamus following the circuit court’s appellate review of final agency action by the Commission on Offender Review. See Sheley v. Fla. Parole Comm’n, 720 So. 2d 216, 217 (Fla. 1998). Because the circuit court provided the petitioner with procedural due process and applied the correct law, the writ is denied on the merits. See Florida Parole Comm’n v. Taylor, 132 So. 3d 780, 783 (Fla. 2014); see also Currie v. Comm’n on Offender Rev., 295 So. 3d 339, 340 (Fla. 1st DCA 2020) (denying writ of certiorari; circuit court applied correct law to deny relief on appellate review of Commission’s extension of presumptive parole release date based on “new information”). DENIED.

LEWIS, BILBREY, and LONG, JJ., concur.
