Docket NumberNo. 87-2232,87-2232
Citation518 So.2d 457,13 Fla. L. Weekly 179
Parties13 Fla. L. Weekly 179 Sandra BAKER, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
CourtFlorida District Court of Appeals

Mark E. NeJame of NeJame & Hyman, P.A., Orlando, for petitioner.

No Appearance for respondent.

DAUKSCH, Judge.

This matter is before the court to have issued a writ of certiorari to the circuit court to review its opinion reversing a county court order dismissing a criminal information.

This court will not exercise certiorari jurisdiction to review an order denying a motion to dismiss or a circuit court opinion reversing an order granting a motion to dismiss, both of which amount to the same thing. An adequate remedy by appeal, if conviction ensues, is available. See Rule 9.140(b) and (c), Fla.R.App.P.; Martin-Johnson, Inc. v. Savage, 509 So.2d 1097 (Fla.1987); Combs v. State, 436 So.2d 93 (Fla.1983); State v. Soto, 444 So.2d 1151 (Fla. 5th DCA 1984).

Certiorari denied.

UPCHURCH, C.J., and ORFINGER, J., concur.

    ...to grant the writ because to do so would expand too greatly the review to be afforded in criminal cases. As we said in Baker v. State, 518 So.2d 457 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988), there is no real need for a second-level appellate intrusion into a criminal case unless a conviction results. Otherwise,......
