Black v. City of Jacksonville

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided June 9, 2010No. 1D10-1727PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Per curiam

Petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the Circuit Court for Duval County to enter a final order in his tort action against the City of Jacksonville. However, petitioner has not filed a proper motion for such relief. See Ponton v. Gross, 576 So.2d 910 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991). Once a motion is filed, it must be called up for a hearing. Smartt v. First Union Nat’l Bank, 771 So.2d 1232 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000). The petition for writ of mandamus is accordingly denied.

PETITION DENIED.

WOLF, BENTON, and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
