Petition for Writ of Mandamus -- Original Jurisdiction.
Terry Perry, pro se, Petitioner.
Rebecca Kapusta, Interim General Counsel, Florida Department of Children and
Families, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

The petition for writ of mandamus is denied on the merits. See Thomas v. State,
Dept. of Revenue, 74 So. 3d 145 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011) (stating that absent a showing
that an express and distinct demand for performance was made, mandamus will not lie
to compel a court to rule on a pleading in a civil matter).
