David Terrence Stephens, Petitioner, v. John Godwin, Warden, Columbia Correctional Institution, Columbia, Florida, In His Official And Individual Capacities, Respondent.

David Terrence Stephens, pro se, Petitioner. Lance Eric Neff, General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

Per Curiam.

Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331.

Petition for Writ of Mandamus-Original Jurisdiction.

David Terrence Stephens, pro se, Petitioner.

Lance Eric Neff, General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

Per Curiam.

The Court denies the petition for writ of mandamus on the merits. See Clark v. Nichols M. N. P., 225 So.3d 416 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017) (holding that to be entitled to mandamus relief compelling a ruling on a pending matter in a civil proceeding, a petitioner must demonstrate that he has noticed the matter for hearing in the lower tribunal).

Ray, Osterhaus, and Nordby, JJ., concur.
