Per Curiam. The Court denies the petition for writ of mandamus on the merits. See Topps v. State , 865 So. 2d 1253, 1258 (Fla. 2004) (explaining that a decision on an extraordinary writ petition that "clearly shows that the issue was considered by the court on the merits" is deemed a decision "which would later bar the litigant from presenting the issue under the doctrines of res judicata or collateral estoppel").
Lewis, Osterhaus, and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur.
