Description
Isaac Thompson appeals the denial of his petition for writ of mandamus. We reverse. The petition is directed to the attorney who represented Thompson in his appeal from a 1982 sentence of death, and who was
appointed by the court for that purpose. The appeal was successful in that the sentence was commuted to life in prison, but
Thompson's conviction for first degree murder was affirmed. Thompson v. State, 456 So.2d 444 (Fla. 1984). Thompson now seeks
to compel counsel to provide him "with a true and correct copy of the case records . . . including but not limited to the
transcripts of petitioner's trial." Counsel has agreed to furnish the transcripts in his possession only if provided in advance
with the cost of photocopying and postage. Counsel maintains that he possesses "no papers or documents furnished by [Thompson]"
apart from the trial transcripts.
