v.

WALT MCNEIL, SHERIFF, LEON COUNTY, FLORIDA, ET AL.

Appellant / Petitioner(s), Appellee / Respondent(s) BY ORDER OF THE COURT:

Pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.040(b), the Court transfers this cause to the Second Judicial Circuit in and for Leon County. See Harvard v. Singletary, 733 So. 2d 1020, 1022 (Fla. 1999); Scott v. State, 130 So. 3d 741, 742 (Fla. 3d DCA 2014).

The transfer of this case should not be construed as an adjudication or comment on the merits of the petition, as a determination that the transferee court has jurisdiction, or that the petition is properly denominated as a petition for writ of mandamus. The transferee court should not interpret the transfer of this case as an indication that it must or should reach the merits of the petition. The transferee court shall treat the petition as if it had been originally filed there on the date it was filed in this Court. The Court defers any and all pending motions in this case to the transferee court. Any future pleadings filed regarding this case should be filed in the above-mentioned circuit court. I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is (a true copy of) the original court order. Served: Hon. Ashley Moody, AG Douglas A. Morin Hon. Gwen Marshall, Clerk co
