IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA WILLIAM G. SANDERS, Petitioner, v. NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED. CASE NO. 1D11-0134 EDWIN G. BUSS, Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections, Respondent. _______________________________/ Opinion filed June 13, 2011. Petition for Writ of Mandamus -- Original Jurisdiction. William G. Sanders, pro se, Petitioner. Jennifer Parker, General Counsel, Florida Department of Corrections, and Sheron Wells, Assistant General Counsel, Tallahassee, for Respondent. PER CURIAM. William G. Sanders seeks mandamus relief to compel the circuit court to rule on an extraordinary writ petition by which he seeks an award of additional gain time. While we recognize that much of the delay in ruling on petitioner s claim was attributable to extensions of time granted to respondent, respondent s response below was filed approximately six months ago, and petitioner is entitled to a reasonably prompt disposition of his claim. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is granted. Within 30 days of the date of issuance of mandate herein, the circuit court shall enter an order disposing of the petition below. Petition for writ of mandamus GRANTED. BENTON, C.J., HAWKES and CLARK, JJ., CONCUR. 2
