This cause is before us upon petition for a writ of prohibition. Petitioner has not demonstrated that he is without other adequate means of redress for the alleged wrong about to be inflicted by the

trial court, Prohibition will not lie to usurp the functions of an appeal. State v. Trammell, 192 So. 175 (Fla. 1939); Corbin v. State, 324 So.2d 203 (Fla. 1st DCA 1976). Accordingly, the petition is denied.
