LaTulip v. Department of Corrections
LaTulip v. Department of Corrections
Opinion of the Court
The petitioner’s argument that the trial court departed from the essential requirements of law by denying his petition for writ of mandamus is without merit and is rejected. But because the underlying action constitutes a “collateral criminal proceeding” pursuant to section 57.085(10), Florida Statutes, the trial court improperly imposed liens upon the petitioner’s inmate trust account for payment of court costs and fees. See Cox v. Crosby, 31 Fla. L. Weekly D310, — So.2d -, 2006 WL 176681 (Fla. 1st DCA Jan. 26, 2006), rev. granted sub nom. McDonough v. Cox, 924 So.2d 809 (Fla. 2006); Schmidt v. Crusoe, 878 So.2d 361 (Fla. 2003). We accordingly
The petition is DENIED as to the challenge to the order by which the trial court denied mandamus, but it is GRANTED as to the challenge to the lien orders and those orders are hereby QUASHED.
