Synopsis

Moger challenged the Florida Parole Commission's suspension of his presumptive parole release date (PPRD) by petition for extraordinary relief. The court affirmed the circuit court's dismissal of the petition as time-barred under Florida's statute of limitations for non-habeas corpus extraordinary relief, holding that the petition filed more than one year after the final agency action was untimely.


Holding

The petition was properly deemed untimely because it was filed more than one year after the final agency action, and therefore the denial of the writ of mandamus was correct. A PPRD suspension is appropriately reviewed by mandamus, but such review must be sought within the statutory time period.

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant’s petition for extraordinary relief from final Florida Parole Commission agency action affirming the suspension of Appellant’s Presumptive Parole Release Date (“PPRD”) was properly deemed untimely by the circuit court pursuant to section 95.11(5)(f), Florida Statutes. The final agency action occurred on April 5, 2006, upon the Commission’s “Extraordinary Review” of the previous negative determination under section 947.18, Florida Statutes and suspension of Appellant’s PPRD.

It has long been recognized that agency action by the Florida Parole Commission “with respect to an inmate’s PPRD diminishes with the passage of time, so that the necessity and advisability of judicial intervention ... also subsides with the passage of time.” Jordan v. Florida Parole & Probation Commission, 403 So.2d 591, 592 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981). A PPRD is “presumptive only; it does not indicate the effective parole release date.” Id. As stated in Armour v. Fla. Parole Comm’n, 963 So.2d 305, 306-07 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007), “a Commission order suspending an inmate’s PPRD and thereby refusing to set an effective parole release date is appropriately reviewed by mandamus.” See also, Williams v. Fla. Parole Comm’n, 625 So.2d 926, 934 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993).

Because the trial court properly classified Appellant’s action below as one for non-habeas corpus extraordinary relief, and because Appellant, a prisoner, sought extraordinary relief more than one year after the agency action of the Florida Parole Commission became final, the trial court’s denial of the writ of mandamus as time-barred under section 95.11(5)(f), Florida Statutes, was correct and no error has been shown by Appellant.

The order of the circuit court is therefore AFFIRMED.

KAHN, BENTON, and CLARK, JJ., concur.
