Matthew Levi FAISON, Jr., Appellant/Petitioner(s), v. PHILLIP MORRIS TOBACCO COMPANY, Appellee/Respondent(s).
Opinion
BY ORDER OF THE COURT.
Petitioner's petition for writ of mandamus is denied without prejudice. Petitioner is required in a civil proceeding to set the matter for hearing before the trial court is obligated to rule. See Al–Hakim v. State, 783 So.2d 293 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001) (noting that in a civil proceeding it is necessary to bring a pending matter to the trial court's attention by noticing it for hearing).
