DAVID TERRENCE STEPHENS,

    Appellant,

    v.

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,

    Appellee.
                  _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.
Charles W. Dodson, Judge.

                        September 28, 2022

PER CURIAM.

     Appellant seeks review from a circuit court order dismissing
his petition for writ of mandamus as untimely. Appellant argued
there were due process errors in several disciplinary proceedings,
many of them years old. We affirm because none of the challenged
proceedings occurred within thirty days of the date that Appellant
filed his petition as required by section 95.11(8), Fla. Stat. (2020)
(“Any action challenging prisoner disciplinary proceedings shall be
barred by the court unless it is commenced within the time period
provided by this section.”).

    AFFIRMED.

LEWIS, TANENBAUM, and LONG, JJ., concur.
                _____________________________

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

David Terrence Stephens, pro se, Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Kelly R. Forren, Assistant
