Date published: Jun 9, 2010

37 So. 3d 924 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2010)

Opinion

No. 1D10-1727.

June 9, 2010.

Petition for Writ of Mandamus — Original Jurisdiction.

Timothy Black, pro se, Petitioner.

No appearance for Respondents.

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the Circuit Court for Duval County to enter a final order in his tort action against the City of Jacksonville. However, petitioner has not filed a proper motion for such relief. See Ponton v. Gross, 576 So.2d 910 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991). Once a motion is filed, it must be called up for a hearing. Smartt v. First Union Nat'l Bank, 771 So.2d 1232 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000).

The petition for writ of mandamus is accordingly denied.

PETITION DENIED.

WOLF, BENTON, and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
