Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
By petition for a writ of certiorari, Diana Lynn Goodykoontz seeks review of a non-final order denying her motion seeking a declaration of indigence. Petitioner has not demonstrated that no remedy will be available on direct appeal or that the trial court violated a clearly established principle of law resulting in a miscarriage of justice. See State v. Pettis, 520 So. 2d 250, 252 (Fla.1988). The petition is therefore DENIED.
BOOTH, BENTON and Van NORTWICK, JJ„ concur.
