PER CURIAM.
A writ of habeas corpus is not a vehicle by which to obtain appellate review. Instead, a petitioner seeking the writ must make a prima facie case that his current detention is unlawful. Here, though, the petitioner fails to submit “by affidavit or evidence” any demonstration that his financial circumstances are such that the bail amount set by the trial court is tantamount to pretrial detention. § 79.01, Fla. Stat.; cf. § 907.041(5), Fla. Stat. DISMISSED.
