certiorariIn law, a writ issued by a superior court for the reexamination of an action of a lower court. The writ of certiorari was originally a writ from England's Court of Queen's (King's) Bench to the judges of an inferior court; it was later expanded to include writs from the equity (chancery) courts. In the U.S., certiorari is the most common means by which cases from the United States Courts of Appeals are reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United States. For the Supreme Court to issue a writ of certiorari, at least four justices must agree to hear the case. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

Writ of Certiorari A petition for writ of certiorari is generally used to review 1) quasi-judicial orders of county, municipal, or state agencies that cannot be appealed to the district courts of appeal under the Administrative Procedure Act; 2) orders of circuit courts acting in their appellate capacity; and 3) nonfinal orders of lower tribunals that are not subject to interlocutory appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9. 11) Based on this memorandum, Medellin filed a successive state habeas petition, and thereafter the Supreme Court dismissed its writ of certiorari as improvidently granted. |
