We agree with Petitioner that the trial court erred in striking his demands for speedy trial, and [150] that the time for speedy trial has now run. Accordingly, we direct the circuit court to enter an order discharging Lopez-Mahones from the pending charges in that case. See Mumani v. State, 63 So.3d 923, 924 (Fla. 5th DCA 2011).
