Opinion

The petition is facially deficient. Cf. Sheley v. Fla. Parole Commn, 720 So. 2d 216, 218 (Fla. 1998).

Dismissed.

Because pro se pleadings are given a liberal construction, Stokes v. Florida Dept. of Corr., 948 So. 2d 75, 77 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007), Slaters petition is sufficient to conclude that he seeks certiorari relief based on a claim that the lower tribunal failed to apply the correct law. Slaters petition, however, should be denied on the merits because he has failed to establish the basis for this claim. Per Curiam.

Jay and Tanenbaum, JJ., concur; Makar, J., concurs in result with opinion.
