Marhlau Belizaire,
Appellant,
vs.
The State of Florida,
Appellee.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Stacy D. Glick,
Judge.
Marhlau Belizaire, in proper person.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, for appellee.
Before LOGUE, HENDON and GORDO, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Marhlau Belizaire appeals the trial court’s order striking his petition for writ
of mandamus, which was filed in the trial court. He argues that the trial court lacked
jurisdiction to strike a petition filed before this Court. The trial court struck the
petition filed before it because it was legally insufficient to support the relief sought,
and we discern no error in the trial court’s order. As such, we affirm the order.
We write briefly, however, because despite Belizaire’s arguments in his initial
brief that the petition was filed before this Court, this Court has no record of any
such filing. Our ruling is without prejudice to Belizaire filing a proper petition
before this Court.
Affirmed.
