Mombasa Douglas, pro se, Petitioner.

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

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This petition for writ of mandamus seeks to compel a ruling on a motion for postconviction relief. The circuit court has recently issued an order which granted an evidentiary hearing on the pending motion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. Munn v. Fla. Parole Comm'n, 807 So.2d 733 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002) (holding that where the trial court has recently taken action, 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).

ROBERTS, C.J., BENTON and KELSEY, JJ., concur.
