Kellar v. Moore, 1D01-4008.
Petitioner, pro se.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; Caryl Kilinski, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
The trial court reached the right result for the wrong reason. "Mandamus is a narrow, extraordinary writ used to coerce an official to perform a clear legal duty." Sica v. Singletary, 714 So.2d 1111, 1112 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998). "Although mandamus is a legal remedy, the granting of the writ is governed by equitable principles." Shevin ex rel. State v. Pub. Serv. Comm'n, 333 So.2d 9, 12 (Fla.1976). Shevin, 333 So.2d at 12. Other adequate legal remedies do exist here. See, e.g., Abbott v. City of Fort Lauderdale, 783 So.2d 1213, 1214-15 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001). Accordingly, the petition for writ of certiorari is denied.
