IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA BENNETH NWANGWU, Petitioner, v. NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED. CASE NO. 1D05-4430 STATE OF FLORIDA, Respondent. Opinion filed November 21, 2005. Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus -- Original Jurisdiction. Benneth Nwangwu, petitioner, pro se. Charlie Crist, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for respondent. Leonard T. Helfand, Associate General Counsel, Tallahassee, for respondent Florida State University. PER CURIAM. Because it appears that petitioner is represented by appointed counsel in the lower tribunal, the pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed as unauthorized. See Logan v. State, 846 So. 2d 472 (Fla. 2003). Even overlooking this defect, however, we conclude that the petition is legally insufficient to demonstrate an entitlement to habeas corpus relief. PETITION DISMISSED. DAVIS, BROWNING and LEWIS, JJ., concur.
