Steve A. Strange v. Department of Corrections

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D20-1273 _____________________________ STEVE A. STRANGE, Petitioner, v. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent. _____________________________ Petition for Writ of Certiorari—Original Jurisdiction. December 29, 2021 PER CURIAM. The petition for writ of certiorari is denied 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. _____________________________ Steve A. Strange, pro se, Petitioner. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Gecelyne S.
