Petition for writ of prohibition filed in the appellate court's original jurisdiction challenging the Department of Revenue, Child Support Program.
Summary
The Florida First District Court of Appeal dismissed Terrence Pellet’s petition for a writ of prohibition seeking relief against the Florida Department of Revenue, Child Support Program. The petition was filed in the court’s original jurisdiction, and the per curiam order simply states the petition is dismissed without published opinion. All three judges concurred. No additional reasoning, factual findings, or relief were set forth in the decision.
Issue Decided
- Whether the appellate court should issue a writ of prohibition against the Department of Revenue's Child Support Program.
Court's Reasoning
The opinion provides no substantive reasoning; it is a brief per curiam dismissal and does not explain the legal basis for dismissing the petition. Because the court gave no analysis, the operative reason for dismissal is not stated in the document.
