PER CURIAM.
We grant Cornell Guthrie's petition for writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to rule on Guthrie's motion for post-conviction relief filed on or about January 11, 2005.
As we are hopeful that the lower court will comply forthwith with the issuance of the requested order, we withhold issuance of the formal writ for thirty (30) days.
