Opinion of the Court

August 30, 2019 PER CURIAM.

In second-tier certiorari proceedings, this Court’s review is limited to a determination of whether the circuit court “ afforded procedural due process and applied the correct law.” City of Deerfield Beach v. Vaillant, 419 So. 2d 624, 626 (Fla. 1982); see also Dep’t of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles v. Edenfield, 58 So. 3d 904, 906 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011). Here, the Department did not assert a violation of procedural due process and it failed to demonstrate a violation of a clearly established principle of law which resulted in a miscarriage of justice. We, therefore, deny the Petition for Writ of Certiorari. See Custer Med. Ctr. v. United Auto. Ins. Co., 62 So. 3d 1086 (Fla. 2010).
