Charles BISHOP, Petitioner, v. Melinda COONROD, Chair of the Florida Commission on Offender Review, Respondent, 231 So. 3d 601

PER CURIAM. Although the lower court found Bishop’s mandamus petition to be time barred under

section 95.11(5)(f), Florida Statutes, we conclude that the petition was timely filed within one year of the Florida Commission on Offender Review’s action on March 16, 2016. See Blue v. Fla. Comm’n on Offender Review, 201 So.3d 808 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016). However, we further conclude that the lower court afforded due process and observed the essential requirements of law when it also denied the mandamus petition on the merits. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of certiorari on the merits, but do so without prejudice to the Commission’s considering the 2015 “corrected judgment” at Bishop’s subsequent interview scheduled for 2020. B.L. THOMAS, C.J, and JAY and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., CONCUR.
