STATE OF FLORIDA
_____________________________
No. 1D19-4546
_____________________________
GRETCHEN LEEPER, personal
administrator of the Estate of
Jason Owens,
Petitioner,
v.
THE GEO GROUP, INC., SYLVIA
HENRY as Personal
Representative of the Estate of
Mark Henry, TONY STEWART and
JESSIE STRICKLAND,
Respondents.
_____________________________
Petition for Writ of Certiorari or Mandamus—Original
Jurisdiction.
January 29, 2020
PER CURIAM.
To the extent that Petitioner seeks certiorari relief, the
“petition for writ of certiorari or mandamus” is dismissed for lack
of jurisdiction. See Landmark at Crescent Ridge LP v. Everest
Financial, Inc., 219 So. 3d 218, 219 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017) (explaining
that where the threshold jurisdictional requirement of irreparable
harm is not shown, the petition for writ of certiorari should be
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction). To the extent that Petitioner
seeks mandamus relief, the petition is denied on the merits. See
Holland v. Wainwright, 499 So. 2d 21 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986)
(explaining that a petition for writ of mandamus must show failure
to perform a ministerial duty).
WOLF, B.L. THOMAS, and ROBERTS, JJ., concur.
