Schmidt v. Crusoegreen
fla · 2003 · cited in 7 Florida opinions naming this issue, 2006–2010

2010In our judgment, a petition for writ of mandamus challenging a PPRD is a "collateral criminal proceeding." In Schmidt v. Crusoe, 878 So.2d 361, 367 (Fla.2003), the supreme court concluded "that a gain time challenge is analogous to a collateral challenge to a sentence in a criminal proceeding because the end result is the same—the inmate's time in prison is directly affected." Under such circumstances, the general indigency statute, section 57.01, Florida Statutes, applies. ....

2010In reaching this conclusion, the majority relies on our decision in Schmidt v. Crusoe, 878 So.2d 361, 367 (Fla.2003), where we held that "a gain time challenge is analogous to a collateral challenge to a sentence in a criminal proceeding because... the inmate's time in prison is directly affected." (Emphasis added.) But there is no justification for applying the unambiguous exception for "a collateral criminal proceeding" to a proceeding which is not "a collateral criminal proceeding" but which this Court determines to be "analogous" to such proceedings.

2018See Schmidt v. McDonough, 951 So. 2d 797, 802-03 (Fla. 2006) (concluding that “because the underlying mandamus petition in this case is a ‘mixed’ petition, containing both a gain time claim and a civil claim, the petition itself is subject to the prepayment and lien requirements of the prisoner indigency statute”); see also Thomas v. Dep’t of Corr., 159 So. 3d 291, 292 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (finding that the appellant’s mandamus petition challenging his inability to earn gain time and loss of eligibility for a work release program was a mixed petition subject to section 57.085).

2007Our supreme court has rejected the proposition "that a `mixed' petition — a petition where a civil claim is piggy-backed onto a gain time claim — is exempt from the prepayment and lien requirements of the prisoner indigency statute [as] . . . lack[ing] merit." Id. at 802 .
