Opinion
Case No. SC04-1649.
April 29, 2005.
Lower Tribunal No. 4D02-3436.
Based on petitioner's response to this Court's order to show cause dated February 14, 2005, and the State's reply, this case is hereby dismissed as moot. See State ex rel. Fidelity Casualty Co. v. Atkinson, 149 So. 29, 30 (Fla. 1933) (mandamus is inappropriate where the action sought to be compelled has already been done); Florida League of Cities v. Smith, 607 So. 2d 420 (Fla. 1992); McAlpin v. State ex rel. Avriett, 19 So. 2d 420 (Fla. 1944) (mandamus will not be issued if doing so would constitute a useless act or would result in no remedial good).
WELLS, ANSTEAD, LEWIS, QUINCE and CANTERO, JJ., concur.
