Williams v. Jones
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 30, 2015 · Clark, Marstiller, Padovano
155 So. 3d 1256; 2015 Fla. App. LEXIS 1287; 2015 WL 404018 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Williams v. Jones

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Walter E. Williams seeks a belated appeal of an order denying his petition for writ of habeas corpus, but we have no authority to grant a belated appeal in a civil proceeding. See Powell v. Department of Corrections, 727 So.2d 1103 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999). Accordingly, the petition seeking belated appeal is DENIED. This disposition is without prejudice, however, to petitioner seeking relief in the lower tribunal. See, generally, Milord v. Florida Parole Commission, 4 So.3d 762 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009)(Browning, J., concurring).

PADOVANO, CLARK, and MARSTILLER, JJ., concur.
