Background
Josalien Profete, proceeding without counsel, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Florida First District Court of Appeal. The petition invoked the court’s original jurisdiction and named the State of Florida as respondent.
The opinion does not describe Profete’s claims, the underlying proceedings, the relief requested, or the State’s response.
The Court’s Holding
The First District dismissed the petition. Its entire explanation was a citation to Baker v. State, 878 So. 2d 1236 (Fla. 2004).
Because the court provided no factual discussion or additional reasoning, the opinion does not specify how Baker applied to Profete’s petition. Judges Roberts, Winokur, and Treadwell concurred in the per curiam disposition.
Key Takeaways
- The court dismissed Profete’s original habeas petition.
- The disposition relied solely on a citation to Baker v. State.
- The opinion does not disclose the petition’s claims, procedural history, or requested relief.
Why It Matters
The decision records the dismissal of Profete’s petition but offers no case-specific reasoning beyond the citation to Baker. Accordingly, any broader account of the petition’s defects or the court’s rationale would go beyond the opinion’s text.
