v.
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

Fla. 1st DCA | 2021-12-29
No. 20-1565
Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (2021)

Opinion of the Court
Rowe

PER CURIAM.

The petition for writ of certiorari is denied on the merits. See Baranko v. Wainwright, 448 So. 2d 1067, 1069 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984) (explaining that the Department of Corrections may apply gain-time only when an award of gain-time is authorized by statute); see also Duncan v. Moore, 754 So. 2d 708, 712 (Fla. 2000) (explaining that “[e]qual protection is not violated merely because some persons are treated differently than other persons;” instead equal protection requires only “that persons similarly situated be treated similarly”). ROWE, C.J., and OSTERHAUS and WINOKUR, JJ., concur. _____________________________
