Hamilton v. Singletary
Hamilton v. Singletary
Opinion of the Court
Robert L. Hamilton (Hamilton), an inmate in custody of the respondent, seeks review of the trial court’s denial of his petition for mandamus and habeas corpus. We affirm because Hamilton failed to allege sufficient facts to warrant the relief requested.
AFFIRMED.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting.
Appellant challenges disciplinary action taken against him. More particularly, he alleges that he was deprived of his right to procedural due process of law in a number of respects during the disciplinary hearing.
It seems to me that, when the petition is read together with the exhibits attached to it, there are sufficient factual allegations to withstand dismissal for legal insufficiency. Accordingly, I would reverse and remand, with directions that the trial court issue an alternative writ of mandamus, as required by Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.630(d)(3). Because the majority affirms the dismissal of appellant’s petition, I dissent.
