FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
STATE OF FLORIDA
_____________________________
No. 1D19-4654
_____________________________
LAVETTA BRYANT,
Petitioner,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent.
_____________________________
Petition for Writ of Certiorari—Original Jurisdiction.
March 24, 2020
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner seeks review of the trial court’s determination that
she is competent to proceed in the criminal case against her. That
determination is reviewable on direct appeal. Cf. Zern v. State, 191
So. 3d 962 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016). In the absence of a showing of
irreparable harm, then, we have no jurisdiction to consider this
petition for certiorari and must dismiss. See Segura v. State, 272
So. 3d 805, 806 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019); see also Citizens Prop. Ins.
Corp. v. San Perdido Ass’n, Inc., 104 So. 3d 344, 351 (Fla. 2012).
DISMISSED.
OSTERHAUS, JAY, and TANENBAUM, JJ., concur.
