Butler v. Bartley

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, mandamus will not lie to compel a court to rule on a pleading in a civil matter).

PADOVANO, WETHERELL, and SWANSON, JJ., concur.
