Overview: As the 30-day time limit in Fla. R. App. P. 9.100(c)(4) had not been adopted to apply to parole revocation or presumptive parole release date proceedings, the circuit court, without issuing a show cause order, departed from the essential requirements of law in denying an inmate mandamus relief, entitling the inmate to a writ of certiorari.
