Opinion
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA
ELISHA THOMAS JR., NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND Petitioner, DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED
v. CASE NO. 1D15-4234
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent. ___________________________/
Opinion filed January 12, 2016.
Petition for Writ of Mandamus -- Original Jurisdiction.
Elisha Thomas, Jr., pro se, Petitioner.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Trisha Meggs Pate, Bureau Chief, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM.
This petition for writ of mandamus seeks to compel a ruling on a motion for
postconviction relief. Because the circuit court has recently directed the state to file a
response to the pending motion, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See
Munn v. Florida Parole Commission, 807 So. 2d 733 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002) (holding that where the trial court has issued a recent order to show cause, mandamus relief was
not warranted). However, we encourage the circuit court to continue its efforts to
expeditiously dispose of the motion pending below. See Wilson v. State, 775 So. 2d
1003 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001).
THOMAS, SWANSON, and MAKAR, JJ., CONCUR.
