DIXIELAND ASSETS, Petitioner, v. Bonita Pitts LEWIS, Respondent.
    No. 1D03-5469.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    July 14, 2004.
    Bill A. Corbin, pro se, for Petitioner.
    Bonita Pitts Lewis, pro se, for Respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Given the circuit court’s erroneous conclusion that petitioner is a corporation, we grant petitioner’s petition for a writ of certiorari and quash the circuit court’s order dismissing petitioner’s petition without prejudice to petitioner refiling a petition signed by a licensed attorney. See Riverwalk Apartments, L.P. v. RTM Gen. Contractors, Inc., 779 So.2d 537, 539 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000) (“A fictitious name is just that — a fiction involving the name of the real party in interest, and nothing more.”).

GRANTED.

WOLF, C.J., KAHN and LEWIS, JJ., concur.
