James R. MOULTON, Appellant/Petitioner(s), v. Diana L. MOULTON, Appellee/Respondent(s).
BY ORDER OF THE COURT.
The petitioner's petition for writ of mandamus is denied without prejudice. A party is required in a civil proceeding to contact the judge's chambers to arrange time for a 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).
