Jamaal Ali Bilal v Florida
Petitioner Jamaal Ali Bilal, a resident at the Florida Civil Commitment Center ("FCCC") who is civilly detained under the Sexually Violent Predators Act, initiated this action by filing a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. #1, Petition) on October 14, 2014.[2] The Petition challenges Bilal's plea-based conviction for practicing law without a license entered on March 23, 2012 in the circuit court located in Desoto County, Florida.
Pursuant to the Court's Order, Respondent filed a "Limited Response" to the Petition (Doc. #8, Response) and attached supporting exhibits (Doc. #8-1, Exhs. 1-9). Respondent argues that the Court lacks jurisdiction to consider the Petition because Bilal is no longer "in custody" on the practicing law without a license conviction.[3] Bilal filed a "Limited Reply" (Doc. #11, Reply). This matter is ripe for review.
