No. 3D01-2293.

796 So.2d 1261 (2001)

Michael W. MOORE, Secretary for the Florida Department of Corrections, Petitioner, v. Anthony BURNS, Respondent.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

October 17, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Susan Schwartz (Tallahassee), for petitioner.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Jan C. Smith, Assistant Public Defender, for respondent.

Before LEVY, GERSTEN, and GODERICH, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner, Michael W. Moore, Secretary, State of Florida Department of Corrections (DOC), seeks certiorari review of a trial court order which prohibits the DOC from cutting respondent Anthony Burns' hair due to religious reasons. Because the trial court is without jurisdiction and lacks the authority to regulate the treatment of prison inmates, we grant the DOC's Petition for Writ of Certiorari and quash the trial court's order.
