STATE of Florida, Petitioner, v. Jason Michael REID, Respondent.
    No. 5D13-1694.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    July 3, 2013.
    Jeffrey L. Ashton, State Attorney, Orlando, and John N. Knutton, Assistant State Attorney, Kissimmee, for Petitioner.
    Ernest J. Mullins, Kissimmee, for Respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

The Petition for Writ of Prohibition is denied. A writ of prohibition is meant to be very narrow in scope and should be employed with great caution. English v. McCrary, 348 So.2d 293, 296 (Fla.1977). Prohibition may only be granted when it is shown that a lower court is without jurisdiction or attempting to act in excess of jurisdiction. Id.

PETITION DENIED.

SAWAYA and BERGER, JJ., concur.

EVANDER, J., concurs, with opinion.

EVANDER, J.,

concurring.

Athough I believe that the State has a meritorious argument on the underlying substantive issue, I agree that a writ of prohibition does not lie in the instant case. Furthermore, the alleged prospective error of the trial court can be remedied on plenary appeal. See Cox v. State, 412 So.2d 354 (Fla.1982) (reversal of judgment and sentence appropriate where trial court, over objection of State, accepted plea to lesser offense; jeopardy did not attach).
