Joseph v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 30, 2005 · Cope, Schwartz, Shepherd
924 So. 2d 19; 2005 Fla. App. LEXIS 18792; 2005 WL 3184602 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Joseph v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Livingston Joseph has filed a petition for writ of mandamus and/or motion to enforce mandate. He contends that this court’s mandate in Joseph v. State, 547 So.2d 249 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989), was never complied with.

The State’s response demonstrates that on remand from this court’s 1989 decision, the trial court in 1990 complied with the mandate by entering a sentencing guidelines departure order on count two, and vacating count three. Further, the petitioner has previously raised the claim that the trial court failed to comply with this court’s mandate, and relief has been denied on previous occasions.

The petition for writ of mandamus and alternative motion to enforce mandate are denied.
