Sheppard v. Crosby

Timothy Sheppard, petitions this court for a writ of certiorari seeking review of a circuit court order denying his petition for writ of mandamus. Sheley v. Florida Parole Com’n, 720 So.2d 216 (Fla.1998).

The circuit court issued an order directing the Florida Department of Corrections to file a response to the mandamus petition and allowing Sheppard 30 days to reply. However, the circuit court denied the petition shortly after receiving the Department’s response without allowing Sheppard time to reply. Sheppard timely filed his reply, which was not considered by the circuit court.
