FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
                STATE OF FLORIDA
                  _____________________________

                          No. 1D20-943
                  _____________________________

WALTER MULFORD,

    Petitioner,

    v.

MARK S. INCH, Secretary,
Florida Department of
Corrections,

    Respondent.
                  _____________________________

Petition for Writ of Certiorari—Original Jurisdiction.

                       September 29, 2021

PER CURIAM.

     The Court denies the petition for writ of certiorari on the
merits. See Topps v. State, 865 So. 2d 1253, 1258 (Fla. 2004)
(explaining that a decision on an extraordinary writ petition that
“clearly shows that the issue was considered by the court on the
merits” is deemed a decision “which would later bar the litigant
from presenting the issue under the doctrines of res judicata or
collateral estoppel”).

RAY, JAY, and TANENBAUM, JJ., concur.
                 _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
               _____________________________

Walter Mulford, pro se, Petitioner.

Lance Eric Neff, General Counsel, and Daniel R. Burke, Assistant
General Counsel, Florida Department of Corrections, Tallahassee,
for Respondent.
