Curtis Lee Carter v. Department of Corrections

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D20-1309 _____________________________ CURTIS LEE CARTER, Petitioner, v. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent. _____________________________ Petition for Writ of Certiorari—Original Jurisdiction. January 12, 2022 PER CURIAM. The Court denies the petition for writ of certiorari on the merits. See Topps v. State, 865 So. 2d 1253, 1258 (Fla. 2004) (explaining that a decision on an extraordinary writ petition that “clearly shows that the issue was considered by the court on the merits” is deemed a decision “which would later bar the litigant from presenting the issue under the doctrines of res judicata or collateral estoppel”). ROWE, C.J., and OSTERHAUS and WINOKUR, JJ., concur.  _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ Curtis Lee Carter, pro se, Petitioner. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Gecelyne S. Dixon, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent. 2
