Horkene Terrell Cade v. State of Florida

Summary

The Florida Third District Court of Appeal denied Horkene Terrell Cade’s petition for a writ of mandamus. The court held that mandamus relief was unavailable because the trial court had already entered a written order denying Cade’s motion to correct an illegal sentence.

Holdings

1. Mandamus must be denied because the trial court had already entered a written order denying the motion, leaving no action for the appellate court to compel.

Questions Presented

1. Whether mandamus should issue to compel the trial court to enter a written order when the trial court had already entered an order denying the underlying motion.
