Notwithstanding the style and allegations of his pleadings the relief to which he claims entitlement is properly considered by way of petition for writ of mandamus. The state is entitled to assert its venue privilege in Leon County. It was error for the trial judge to transfer venue to Palm Beach County. Carlile v.
