MICHAEL SWAIN, APPELLANT,
v.
FLORIDA PAROLE AND PROBATION COMMISSION, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1982-05-21
No. AK-454
ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., C. J., and McCORD and BOOTH, JJ., concur.
414 So. 2d 1100 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1982) Caution
Cited by 22 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The petition for writ of mandamus has been treated as an appeal of final agency action of the Florida Parole and Probation Commission. See Daniels v. Florida Parole and Probation Commission, 401 So. 2d 1351 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981). The action of the Commission declining to review the issues raised by appellant at his § 947.173, Fla. Stat. (1981), review is affirmed in part and reversed in part. We therefore remand this cause for consideration of appellant’s claim pertaining to new information, that the federal district court for the Southern District of Florida invalidated one of appellant’s convictions. See § 947.16(4), Fla.Stat. (1981).

ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., C. J., and McCORD and BOOTH, JJ., concur.
