Williams v. Florida Parole Commission
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 18, 1998 · Campbell, Fulmer, Northcutt
718 So. 2d 331; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 11812; 1998 WL 637028 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Williams v. Florida Parole Commission

Opinion of the Court

NORTHCUTT, Judge.

Larry Williams filed a petition for mandamus or habeas corpus in the circuit court, challenging the actions of the parole commission. The circuit court dismissed his petition on the ground that he had not exhausted his administrative remedies. The parole commission concedes that Williams has no administrative remedies, noting that neither the Florida Statutes nor the Florida Administrative Code provide for administrative review or an appeal of the parole commission’s action. Accordingly, we reverse the circuit court’s dismissal of Williams’s petition and remand for a determination on the merits.

Reversed and remanded.

CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and FULMER, J., concur.
