Head Matter:
Matthew SWINT, Appellant, v. Walter McNEIL, etc. et al., Appellees.
No. 5D08-4394.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Sept. 18, 2009.
Matthew Swint, Daytona Beach, pro se.
Monica Ryan, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant challenges the denial of his Petition for Writ of Mandamus, which sought a reinstatement of forfeited gain time. We affirm the lower court's order in all respects except that portion of the order that placed a lien on Appellant's inmate trust account for reimbursement of the filing fee, pursuant to section 57.085, Florida Statutes. As the Department of Corrections properly concedes, the action below was a collateral criminal proceeding and is thereby exempt, pursuant to section 57.085(1), Florida Statutes (2008). On remand, the trial court shall direct that Appellant be reimbursed for any monies previously taken from his account.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part and REMANDED.
TORPY, EVANDER and COHEN, JJ., concur.
