District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Dec 29, 2010
50 So. 3d 791 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2010)

Opinion

No. 1D10-4044.

December 29, 2010.

Petition for Writ of Mandamus — Original Jurisdiction.

Carlos D. Cotton, pro se, Petitioner.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Edward C. Hill, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.


The petition for writ of mandamus is granted. The trial court is directed to enter an order disposing of petitioner's amended motion for postconviction relief within 30 days or, if warranted, enter an order scheduling an evidentiary hearing on the amended motion. Because we are confident the trial court will comply with this directive, we withhold formal issuance of the writ at this time.

BENTON, C.J., VAN NORTWICK and ROBERTS, JJ., concur.
