Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner seeks mandamus relief to compel a circuit court judge to rale on a motion he has pending in a civil action. Because petitioner has failed to show that he has noticed the matter for a hearing or otherwise brought the matter to the attention of the judge, we deny the petition. See Smartt v. First Union National Bank, 771 So.2d 1232 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000). As in Smartt, the denial is without prejudice.
BARFIELD, BENTON and VAN NORTWICK, JJ., concur.
