1978 Fla. LEXIS 4692
Adkins, Boyd, England, Hatchett, Karl, Overton, Sundberg
Brooks v. State
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting.
I would treat as petition for writ of habe-as corpus under the dictates of Article V, Section 2(a), Florida Constitution, that “no cause shall be dismissed because an improper remedy has been sought.”
BOYD, J., concurs.
Opinion of the Court
The petition for writ of certiorari reflected apparent jurisdiction in this Court. We issued the writ. Upon further consideration of the cause, we conclude that no direct conflict of decisions exists as required by Article V, Section 3(b)(3), Florida Constitution. Therefore, the writ must be and is hereby discharged.
It is so ordered.
HATCHETT, J., dissents with an opinion.
