___________________________/
Opinion filed April 29, 2016.
Petition for Writ of Mandamus -- Original Jurisdiction.
Willie C. Carpenter, pro se, Petitioner.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Trisha Meggs Pate, Bureau Chief,
Tallahassee, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM.
This pro se petition for writ of mandamus seeks to compel a ruling on a motion
for postconviction relief. Because the circuit court has recently directed the State
Attorney to file a response to the pending motion, we deny the petition for writ of
mandamus. We encourage the circuit court to continue its efforts to expeditiously
dispose of the motion pending below. Wilson v. State, 775 So. 2d 1003 (Fla. 1st DCA
2001).
