Barrs v. Faye Townsend
Barrs v. Faye Townsend
852 So. 2d 929; 2003 Fla. App. LEXIS 12530; 2003 WL 21981432
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Barrs v. Faye Townsend
Opinion of the Court
Mary Barrs seeks review of the circuit court’s opinion reversing a decision of the county court. Barrs’s remedy is certiora-ri, rather than appeal, and therefore, we convert the appeal to a certiorari proceeding. See Haines City Community Development v. Heggs, 658 So.2d 523 (Fla. 1995). However, because this court’s jurisdiction was not timely invoked, this proceeding is hereby dismissed. See Miller v. State, 781 So.2d 1146 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001)(rejecting petitioner’s argument that the time for invoking the court’s jurisdiction is measured from issuance of the circuit court’s mandate); Jones v. Cannon, 750 So.2d 108 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999).
