Wells v. State
Annotate this CasePetitioner filed a petition to invoke the First District Court of Appeal’s all writs jurisdiction, asserting that he was serving an illegally enhanced sentence. The First District dismissed the petition in an unelaborated per curiam decision. Petitioner sought review, alleging that the First District’s decision expressly and directly conflicted with several other district court decisions regarding illegal sentences. The Supreme Court dismissed Petitioner’s petition for review, holding that the Court “lacks discretionary review jurisdiction to review an unelaborated per curiam dismissal from a district court of appeal that is issued without opinion or explanation or that merely cites to a case not pending review in, or reversed or quashed by, the Court, or to a statute or rule of procedure.”
