Whited v. Florida Commission on Offender Review
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 22, 2014 · Lewis, Wetherell, Wolf
145 So. 3d 951; 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 13090; 2014 WL 4159997 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Whited v. Florida Commission on Offender Review

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges the circuit court’s order denying in part and dismissing in part his petition for writ of mandamus in which he challenged the Florida Parole Commission’s calculation of his presumptive parole release date. We affirm on all issues but one. We find the circuit court erred in imposing liens on appellant’s inmate trust account for court costs and fees for filing his petition for writ of mandamus and subsequent appeal. See Fla. Parole Comm’n. v. Spaziano, 48 So.3d 714, 724 (Fla. 2010); and § 57.085(10), Fla. Stat. Thus, we reverse the circuit court’s orders imposing the liens, and we remand with instructions that the trial court direct that appellant be reimbursed for any funds that were removed from his account. On all other issues, we affirm.

AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, and REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.

LEWIS, C.J., WOLF and WETHERELL, JJ., concur.
