Adam Richardson v. Secretary, Florida Agency for Health Care Administration

Summary

The court denied a citizen-taxpayer’s petition for quo warranto and mandamus seeking to challenge state officials’ advocacy against a proposed constitutional amendment. It held that the extraordinary writs could not be used to privately enforce a criminal election statute, and that the petitioner lacked the clear legal right and absence of another adequate remedy required for mandamus. The court therefore did not reach the statute’s exemptions or the merits of the challenged statements.
