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 has been made, mandamus will not lie to compel a court to rule on a pleading in a civil matter).
VAN NORTWICK, PADOVANO, and MARSTILLER, JJ., concur.
