ALEX C. BONNER, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ______________________________/ Opinion filed February 20, 2004 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Marion County, Victor Musleh, Judge. Alex C. Bonner, Coleman, pro se. Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Allison Leigh Morris, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee. SHARP, W., J. Bonner appeals from an order of the circuit court which denied his petition for writ of habeas corpus. We affirm. Bonner was placed on probation by the state court in Marion County, Florida, on March 1, 1991. While he was still on probation, he was arrested by the federal authorities in 1996. He was convicted and sentenced by the federal court to a federal prison term for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. On February CASE NO. 5D03-2642

2, 1996, the state law enforcement officials filed a detainer action letter with the federal prison authorities because Bonner had violated his state probation by having violated the federal law. Bonner is currently incarcerated on the federal charges in the Federal Correctional Complex in Coleman, Florida, and will not complete his federal sentence until March 30, 2005. He filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus on June 30, 2002. Clearly Bonner was not entitled to habeas corpus or mandamus relief, since he was not, nor did he allege, he was entitled to immediate release or was being held without lawful authority. See
