Supreme Court of Florida

Willie F. Jones v. Florida Parole Commission — Polston, J., Dissenting

October 14, 201035 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 578

Summary

Justice Polston dissents, arguing that Florida Statutes §95.11(5)(f) should not bar habeas petitions challenging a prisoner's present detention because the one‑year limitation should not begin until the cause of action accrues, not at parole revocation. The opinion also notes a separate dissent by Chief Justice Canady, which upholds the limitation and raises constitutional separation‑of‑powers concerns.
