    Jerry Neil ALFRED, Petitioner, v. Walter A. McNEIL, Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections, Respondent.
    No. 1D10-1429.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Aug. 18, 2010.
    Jerry Neil Alfred, pro se, Petitioner.
    Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Joe Belitzky, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

We hereby grant the petition for writ of mandamus. The circuit court shall rule on the pending motion for rehearing within a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days from issuance of mandate in this cause. Because we are confident that the circuit court will issue a ruling, we withhold issuance of the formal writ.

HAWKES, C.J., KAHN and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
