Opinion
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA
GERMAINE R. RUDDICK, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND Appellant, DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED
v. CASE NO. 1D14-3371
FLORIDA STATE PRISON,
Appellee. ___________________________/
Opinion filed October 21, 2014.
An appeal from an order of the Union County Circuit Court. Stanley H. Griffis, III, Judge.
Germaine R. Ruddick, pro se, Appellant.
No appearance for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant seeks review of a final order dismissing his petition for writ of habeas
corpus. Because jurisdiction of this court was not invoked within thirty days of rendition of the order to be reviewed, we dismiss the appeal as untimely. See Fla. R.
App. P. 9.110(b). To the extent appellant seeks to invoke the original jurisdiction of
this court to obtain a writ of habeas corpus, the petition is properly filed in the circuit
court. See, e.g., Harvard v. Singletary, 733 So. 2d 1020, 1022 (Fla. 1999) (writ
petitions that could require resolution of disputed issues of fact should be handled by
the circuit courts).
THOMAS, ROBERTS, and ROWE, JJ., CONCUR.
