PER CURIAM.
We affirm the decision of the circuit court to treat the rule 3.800(a) motion as a petition for writ of mandamus. Appellant did not show that he received an illegal sentence and his challenges to the parole statutes are properly reviewed in a mandamus petition.
However, the circuit court erred in requiring appellant to comply with section 57.085, Florida Statutes. Collateral criminal proceedings are exempt from this statute and the general indigency statute, section 57.081, Florida Statutes, applies in this case. See § 57.085(10), Fla. Stat.; Cason v. Crosby, 892 So. 2d 536, 537 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005). Nevertheless, Thomas is not entitled to relief as his claims have been fully litigated more than once and are without merit. See Cal. Dep’t of Corrections v. Morales, 514 U.S. 499, 115 S.Ct. 1597, 131 L.Ed.2d 588 (1995); Paschal v. Wainwright, 738 F. 2d 1173 (11th Cir.1984).

To fall within the scope of the rule, however, an order must actually make a determination as to personal jurisdiction. See Bill Holt Sales & Leasing, Inc. v. Cousins, 904 So. 2d 502 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005) (dismissing appeal because the record failed to show that the trial court made a decision regarding personal jurisdiction even though lack of personal jurisdiction had been raised in the motion for summary judgment that was denie…

We are free to revisit this prior ruling, see Bill Holt Sales & Leasing, Inc. v. Cousins, 904 So. 2d 502, 503 n. 1 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005) (explaining that a ruling by a motion panel is interlocutory and may be reexamined by the merits panel), and we have an obligation to do so because the ruling concerns our jurisdiction.…
