Per Curiam. The court denies the petition for writ of habeas corpus on the merits. See Bowens v. Tyson , 578 So. 2d 696, 697 (Fla. 1991) ("If between the filing of the motion to release and the hearing the state files an information or an indictment, the purpose of the rule is served."); cf. Ford v. Campbell , 697 So. 2d 1301, 1303 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997) (denying habeas corpus petition because the State had filed an information by the time of the hearing on the petitioner's motion for release).
Lewis, Tanenbaum, and Long, JJ., concur.
