Heading: Allegations of Secret Dockets

Text: Rodriguez first asserts that there may be secret dockets in Dade County involving Isidoro which should be disclosed. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence presented during the evidentiary hearing, the postconviction court denied relief on this claim as follows: There was absolutely no evidence presented that there is a secret docket that relates to Isidoro Rodriguez. Since Isidoro was not arrested for anything but trespass in 1978, there can be no secret docket since there was no arrest. In fact, it is clear to this court that the Defendant confuses sealed plea agreements, which were the topic of the Miami Herald article, with a sealed docket. We agree. Rodriguez has not presented any evidence that a secret docket exists concerning Isidoro. Despite the fact that several witnesses testified that they were unable to find any hidden or secret dockets concerning Isidoro, Rodriguez alleges that secret dockets could still exist involving this witness. Rodriguez's claim as to this issue is completely speculative and without any support. Accordingly, we deny this subclaim. See Maharaj v. State, 778 So.2d 944, 951 (Fla.2000) (Postconviction relief cannot be based on speculation or possibility.).
