PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See § 79.01, Fla. Stat. (2020) (providing that before
a petition for writ of habeas corpus may be granted, the petitioner
must “show[ ] by affidavit or evidence probable cause to believe
that he or she is detained without lawful authority”); see also
Flicker v. Duff, 290 So. 2d 129, 130 (Fla. 1st DCA 1974) (holding
that a habeas petition did not “make out a prima facie case” when
the petitioner provided no record or affidavits to support his
allegations); Russell v. Fla. Parole Comm’n, 946 So. 2d 32, 32 (Fla.
1st DCA 2006) (finding no error in trial court’s order denying a
petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging revocation of parole
when the petition “failed to set out a prima facie basis for relief”).
ROWE, M.K. THOMAS, and NORDBY, JJ., concur.
