OPINION:
Original Proceeding - Habeas Corpus
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner William Gary Harvard filed an "Emergency Petition for Writ of
Habeas Corpus." Petitioner Harvard, who is incarcerated at Martin Correctional
Institution, claims to have been incorrectly assigned to Close Management
status, a restrictive level of confinement, and seeks to be reassigned to a less
restrictive confinement status. In support of his claim, he sets forth numerous
factual allegations. n1 Although we have original jurisdiction to issue writs of
habeas corpus, prohibition, mandamus, and quo warranto, our jurisdiction is
discretionary. See art. V, @ 3(b)(7),(8),(9), Fla. Const. Our jurisdiction is
also concurrent with the jurisdiction of the district courts of appeal and the
circuit courts. See art. V, @@ 4(b)(3), 5(b); see generally <=1> State ex rel.
Scaldeferri v. Sandstrom, 285 So. 2d 409, 411 (Fla. 1973). [*2] For the
reasons that follow, we decline to exercise our jurisdiction in this case and
elect to transfer the petition to a more appropriate court. By doing so, we are
exercising the discretion granted to us by the Florida Constitution.

n1 Harvard alleges that he has exhausted available administrative remedies.
If he had not, we would have dismissed his petition. See generally <=2> Shevin
ex rel. State v. Public Service Comm'n, 333 So. 2d 9, 12 (Fla. 1976)(explaining
that the extraordinary remedy of mandamus is unavailable unless no other
adequate remedy exits); <=3> Sutton v. Strickland, 485 So. 2d 25 (Fla. 1st DCA
1986) (holding that a petitioner's challenge to his confinement status through
writ of habeas corpus was subject to dismissal where the petitioner failed to
exhaust administrative remedies through the Department of Corrections' inmate
grievance procedure).
