Karla Wooten v. Mark S. Inch, Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D21-1738 _____________________________ KARLA WOOTEN, Petitioner, v. MARK S. INCH, Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections, et al., Respondents. _____________________________ Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus—Original Jurisdiction. July 6, 2021 PER CURIAM. Karla Wooten petitions this Court for a writ of habeas corpus, asserting that she is being illegally detained at a prison in Wyoming. Because Wooten is in custody outside this Court’s territorial jurisdiction, we lack authority to issue the extraordinary writ. See Art. V, §4(b)(3); Alachua Reg’l Juv. Det. Ctr. v. T.O., 684 So. 2d 814, 816 (Fla. 1996) (“[A] district court of appeal does not have the constitutional power to issue a writ directed to a person outside the district court’s territorial jurisdiction.”). Thus, we dismiss Wooten’s petition. ROWE, C.J., and ROBERTS and JAY, JJ., concur.  _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ Karla Wooten, pro se, Petitioner. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee; Lance Eric Neff, General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Respondents. 2
