Head Matter:
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.

Opinion:
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.
