Petition for Certiorari—Original Jurisdiction.
August 24, 2018
PER CURIAM.
DISMISSED. See Custer Med. Ctr. v. United Auto Ins. Co., 62
So. 3d 1086, 1093 (Fla. 2010) (emphasizing that “certiorari cannot
be used to grant a second appeal to correct the existence of mere
legal error” and explaining that “a circuit court appellate decision
made according to the forms of law and the rules prescribed for
rendering it, although it may be erroneous in its conclusion as to
what the law is as applied to facts, is not a departure from the
essential requirements of law remediable by certiorari”)(emphasis
in original); State Farm Auto. Ins. Co. v. CC Chiropractic, LLC,
2018 WL 1315076, at *2 n.2 (Fla. 4th DCA Mar. 14, 2018)
(discussing the limitations on second-tier certiorari review and
noting that “[a] denial of discretionary second-tier certiorari
review should not be construed to mean that we approve of the
underlying decisions”).
WETHERELL, BILBREY, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
