  • 982 So. 2d 1226 (2008)

    Mark PETERSON, Petitioner,
    v.
    FLORIDA PAROLE COMMISSION, Respondent.

    No. 1D07-5494.

    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

    May 27, 2008.

    *1227 Mark Peterson, pro se, Petitioner.

    Kim M. Fluharty, General Counsel, and Chris Papy, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Parole Commission, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

    PER CURIAM.

    Petitioner seeks certiorari review of the denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpus under Sheley v. Florida Parole Commission, 720 So. 2d 216 (Fla.1998). Because the facts of this case are substantially similar to Mathis v. Florida Parole Commission, 944 So. 2d 1182 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006), we grant the petition for writ of certiorari.

    The Florida Parole Commission issued a warrant charging petitioner with violating the terms of conditional release supervision. The hearing examiner's disposition is not included in the record on appeal filed by the clerk of the circuit court. The Parole Commission revoked petitioner's supervision, but the revocation order failed to contain a finding that petitioner's actions constituted a willful violation of a substantial condition of supervision. In Mathis, this court held that absent such a finding, the circuit court could not have reviewed the proceedings and determined that they were supported by competent substantial evidence and, because the circuit court did not apply the correct law, it could not have observed the essential requirements of the law. Accord Houck v. Fla. Parole Comm'n, 953 So. 2d 692 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007).

    Accordingly, we grant the petition for writ of certiorari, quash the circuit court's order and remand for further proceedings.

    BENTON, LEWIS, and ROBERTS, JJ., concur.
