Opinion:
COBB, Judge.
An order of the circuit court ruling on a petition for writ of prohibition is a final appealable order in an original proceeding, and is not reviewable by certiorari. See Adams v. State ex rel. Eagan, 478 So.2d 1190 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985). Therefore, in accordance with Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.040(c), the petition for writ of certiora-ri to review the circuit court's order dismissing a petition for writ of prohibition is treated as a notice of appeal and initial brief.
Pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.315(a), which allows the expedited affirmance of an appeal after the filing of an initial brief when no preliminary basis for reversal is demonstrated, the circuit court's order dismissing the petition for writ of prohibition is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
