Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Joe Belitzky, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
*800 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.
