    Matthew FAISON, Petitioner, v. GGO PRISON FACILITY and COL. CORR. INST., Respondents.
    No. 1D14-1760.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    June 30, 2014.
    Rehearing Denied Sept. 3, 2014.
    Matthew L. Faison, pro se, Petitioner.
    No appearance for Respondents.
   PER CURIAM.

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.
