Opinion of the Court

GORDO, J.

In this petition for a second-tier writ of certiorari, Petitioner1 seeks to quash the circuit court appellate division’s per curiam affirmance of a final administrative order by the City of Miami’s Unsafe Structures Panel requiring the demolition of the Petitioner’s property.

Because the circuit court’s per curiam affirmance was not a violation of a clearly established principle of law resulting in a miscarriage of justice so as to permit our review by second-tier certiorari, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to grant relief.

Co., 159 So. 3d 863, 865 (Fla. 3d DCA 2014) (“[W]e see nothing in the record to indicate that the appellate division failed to afford GIR due process or that it applied the incorrect law. Petition dismissed.”); AbouElSeoud v.
