McDaniel v. City of Lakeland ( 1974 )

304 So. 2d 515 (1974)

John K. McDANIEL, Appellant,
v.
CITY OF LAKELAND, a Municipal Corporation, et al., Appellees.

No. 73-1050.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

December 18, 1974.

Frank E. Hamilton, III, of Hamilton, Douglas & Bennett, Orlando, for appellant.

Stephen C. Watson, Asst. City Atty., Lakeland, for appellees.

PER CURIAM.

We conclude that the petition for writ of mandamus did not demonstrate that the petitioner had a clear and already established legal right to the performance of a duty by any of the respondents. Therefore, the final order dismissing the petition is affirmed, without prejudice to the petitioner's institution of a separate action for declaratory judgment or for damages to secure the relief he has sought in this one.

Affirmed.

McNULTY, C.J., GRIMES, J., and SCHWARTZ, ALAN R., Associate Judge, concur.
