District Court of Appeal of Florida May 13, 2002, No. 4D02-1462 (D.D. v. State)

PER CURIAM.

D.D. filed a petition for writ of prohibition, or in the alternative, for certiorari, after the trial court granted the state’s motion to strike his motion to dismiss based on expiration of speedy trial. We construe the trial court’s order as a denial of petitioner’s motion to dismiss on the merits of the speedy trial challenge.
