    Robert L. JONES, Appellant, v. Walter A. McNEIL, Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections, Appellee.
    No. 1D10-2012.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Nov. 2, 2010.
    Robert L. Jones, pro se, Appellant.
    Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Maricruz Rahaman, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Because the circuit court disposed of the petition for writ of mandamus filed below on procedural grounds rather than the merits, we treat this proceeding as an appeal. The order dismissing the petition for writ of mandamus for failure to exhaust administrative remedies is AFFIRMED.

WEBSTER, DAVIS, and ROWE, JJ., concur.
