Edward T. Douglas,
Petitioner,
vs.
The State of Florida,
Respondent.
A Case of Original Jurisdiction –Mandamus.
Douglas T. Edwards, in proper person.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, for respondent.
Before WELLS, ROTHENBERG and EMAS, JJ.
WELLS, Judge.
Douglas Edwards files this petition for writ of mandamus to compel the trial
court to rule on his pending postconviction motions filed under Florida Rules of
Criminal Procedure 3.800 and 3.850. Because the record below fails to
demonstrate that either his Rule 3.850 motion, dated July 29, 2009, or his Rule
3.800 motion, dated October 28, 2014, was ever filed below, we deny the petition
without prejudice to petitioner refiling these motions nunc pro tunc in the lower
court.
