IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SIXTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA IN AND FOR PASCO COUNTY THERESA MARIE MARTIN, Petitioner, v. CaseNo: 2007-DR-4735-WS Division: Z STEPHEN PAUL MARTIN, Respondent. J — ORDER DENYING VERIFIED COMPLAINT AND PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS THIS MATTER came before this court in her capacity as emergency/duty judge, without hearing, on review of the pro se Petitioner's Verified Complaint and Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, filed on August 15,2007. On review of the complaint, court record, and applicable law, this court finds as follows: This court finds that the relief sought by the Petitioner should be brought in a proper pleading filed in the parties’ open dissolution of marriage case, no. 2004-DR- 4764-WS. It appears, from a review of the file docket, that an amended final judgment of dissolution of marriage establishing custody was entered on November 7, 2005. Further, there has been record activity in that file as recently as June 2007. Therefore, this court concludes that the filing of a separate civil action seeking custody can only be characterized as an attempt by Petitioner at "judge shopping. Accordingly, it is _ ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Complaint and Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is hereby DENIED. DONE AND ORDERED in chambers in Dade City, Pasco County, Florida, this ____ day of August, 2007. " STENES AUG 1 6 2007 Copies to: See page 21 Martin v.
