This is an appeal from the trial court’s denial of defendant’s petition for a writ of mandamus to require the parole and probation commission to hold a parole interview. We recognize that whether or not to grant such an interview is discretionary. See § 947.16(2)(f), Fla.Stat. (1985). However, the record* shows that defendant was denied an interview on the basis that he was serving a sentence imposed under the sentencing guidelines whereas defendant was also serving a nonguidelines sentence.

We affirm the trial court. The petitioner, however, is not barred from again requesting the commission to consider his statutory sentence.
