Petitioner's petition for writ of mandamus is denied without prejudice. Petitioner is required to make an express and distinct demand for performance before mandamus will be considered. See Al-Hakim v. State, 783 So. 2d 293, 294 (Fla. 5th DCA2001) ("It is well-settled that in a civil proceeding, it is generally necessary to bring a pending matter to the trial court's attention by having it noticed for hearing.").
