vs.
The State of Florida,
Appellee.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Ellen Sue Venzer,
Judge.
Anthony P. John, in proper person.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Kayla Heather McNab, Assistant
Attorney General, for appellee.
Before FERNANDEZ, LINDSEY, and MILLER, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Brinson v. State, 988 So. 2d 665, 665-66 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008)
(โThe circuit court of the county in which a defendant is incarcerated has jurisdiction
to consider a petition for writ of habeas corpus when the claims raised in the petition
concern issues regarding his incarceration, but not when the claims attack the
validity of the judgment or sentence. Only the court in which the defendant was
convicted and sentenced has jurisdiction to consider collateral attacks on a judgment
or sentence, and such an attack must be brought pursuant to Rule 3.800 or 3.850, not
by petition for writ of habeas corpus.โ (quoting Broom v. State, 907 So. 2d 1261,
1262 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005))).
