Linder v. Florida Commission on Offender Review
An inmate filed a mandamus petition challenging the Commission's authority to place him on conditional release supervision and separately challenged the lien placed on his inmate trust account to cover filing fees. The First DCA held that a challenge to conditional release supervision eligibility is not a 'collateral criminal proceeding' exempt from section 57.085's lien provisions because it does not directly affect the amount of time the inmate must actually spend in prison, distinguishing Florida Parole Commission v. Spaziano.
