Jack MCFARLAND, Petitioner, v. FLORIDA COMMISSION ON OFFENDER REVIEW and Florida Department of Corrections, Respondents.
    CASE NO. 1D17-0190
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Opinion filed April 11, 2017.
    Rehearing Denied May 17, 2017
    Jack McFarland, pro se, Petitioner.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee; Rana Wallace, General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Because the proceedings in the circuit court were civil in nature, the court lacks authority to grant a belated appeal. See Powell v. Florida Department of Corrections, 727 So.2d 1103 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999). Accordingly, the petition seeking belated appeal is DENIED, and petitioner’s motion for extension of time to file a petition for writ of certiorari is DENIED as moot.

WETHERELL, BILBREY, and JAY, JJ., CONCUR.
