Jennifer Parker, General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee; Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Cedell Ian Garland and Eric Gonzalez, Assistant Attorneys General, Tallahassee, for Respondent. PER CURIAM. We treat the Department of Correction’s amended response as a concession of error that petitioner is not serving a life sentence. We therefore grant the petition for writ of certiorari, quash the circuit court’s order dismissing the petition for writ of mandamus, and remand for further proceedings.
