Michael W. MOORE, Secretary for the Florida Department of Corrections, Appellant, v. Andre LOWERY, Appellee.
    No. 3D00-573.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    May 17, 2000.
    Susan Schwartz, Assistant General Counsel, Department of Corrections (Tallahassee), for appellant.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and John E. Morrison, Assistant Public Defender, for appellee.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and COPE and SHEVIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Because the trial court was without jurisdiction or authority to require the Department of Corrections to refrain from cutting the defendant’s hair, the petition for writ of certiorari is granted and the order is quashed. Department of Juvenile Justice v. J.R., 710 So.2d 211 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998); Singletary v. Acosta, 659 So.2d 449 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995). This action is without prejudice to an appropriate application to withdraw the respondent’s guilty plea.

Certiorari granted.
