Opinion:
FLETCHER, Judge.
We grant Juan Leal Esquivel's petition for writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to rule on Esquivel's motion for post-conviction relief filed on or about December 22, 2003. The trial court shall entertain no further delays in scheduling a hearing on the motion and shall expedite rendition of an order granting or denying post-conviction relief accordingly.
As we are certain that the lower court will comply, we withhold issuance of the formal writ at this time.
