v.
FLORIDA PAROLE AND PROBATION COMMISSION, Respondent.
Fourth District.
William Johnson, Belle Glade, pro se petitioner.
Lynne T. Winston, Asst. Gen. Counsel, Tallahassee, for respondent.
PER CURIAM.
This petition for writ of mandamus was filed to challenge the Florida Parole and Probation Commission's suspension of petitioner's presumptive parole release date. We dismiss the petition without prejudice to the petitioner to file for relief in the circuit court.
The Florida Supreme Court addressed the history of review of the Florida Parole and Probation Commission's actions in Griffith v. Florida Parole and Probation Commission, 485 So.2d 818 (Fla.1986). Before 1981, presumptive parole release dates were reviewed by petition for writ of mandamus pursuant to Moore v. Florida Parole and Probation Commission, 289 So.2d 719 (Fla.), cert. denied, 417 U.S. 935, 94 S.Ct. 2649, 41 L.Ed.2d 239 (1974). With the enactment of the Administrative Procedure Act, Chapter 120, the legislature in 120.68 provided for appeals of final administrative action to the district courts. Section 120.52(10)(d), Florida Statutes (1981) exempted prisoners as parties for purposes of obtaining rule making administrative hearings section 120.54(16) or "substantial interest" administrative hearings section 120.57. In Roberson v. Florida Parole and Probation Commission, 444 So.2d 917 (Fla.1983), the act was interpreted as not precluding prisoners from seeking judicial review of final Florida Parole and Probation Commission action, pursuant to 120.68.
In 1983, the legislature amended section 120.52(10) to read: "Prisoners shall not be considered parties in any other proceedings and may not seek judicial review under s. 120.68 of any other agency action." Ch. 83-78, § 1, Laws of Fla. With this amendment, district courts were deprived of jurisdiction to consider an appeal of a PPRD. Jurisdiction in the district courts then, is only available through common law writs of mandamus for review of PPRDs. Griffith, 485 So.2d at 820. See also Wainwright v. Taylor, 476 So.2d 669 (Fla.1985); Hall v. Wainwright, 498 So.2d 670 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986); Thomas v. Florida Parole and Probation Commission, 436 So.2d 349 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983); Hansen v. Florida Parole and Probation Commission, 436 So.2d 349 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983).
Therefore, review of PPRDs set...
