Head Matter:
Eric KAPLAN, D.C., Petitioner, v. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, Respondent.
No. 1D04-4342.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Nov. 5, 2004.
Edwin A. Bayo of GrayRobinson, P.A., Tallahassee, for petitioner.
No appearance for respondent.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The petition for writ of mandamus is denied as legally insufficient. Mandamus will lie to require the performance of a ministerial duty imposed by law on a public official or agency. See Sancho v. Joanos, 715 So.2d 382 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998). However, petitioner has failed to identify any legal authority imposing on the Department of Health a clear and indisputable duty to take the action he seeks to compel.
PETITION DENIED.
BOOTH, BARFIELD and ALLEN, JJ., concur.
