STATE OF FLORIDA,

Respondent. ___________________________/

Opinion filed July 22, 2014.

Petition for Writ of Mandamus -- Original Jurisdiction.

Ronald Thornton, pro se, Petitioner.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Trisha Meggs Pate, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Ronald Thornton seeks a writ of mandamus compelling the circuit court to rule

upon a motion for post-conviction relief filed on or about September 16, 2010. The

petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See Munn v. Fla. Parole Comm’n, 807 So. 2d

733 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002). We encourage the circuit court, however, to promptly rule

on the motion pending therein.
