Decision Without Published Opinion

The petition for writ of prohibition is hereby denied. See English v. McCrary, 348 So.2d 293, 297 (Fla. 1977) (holding that prohibition lies to prevent a lower court from acting in excess of jurisdiction but not to prevent an alleged erroneous exercise of jurisdiction). See also In re Ringling's Estate, 156 Fla. 810, 24 So.2d 525 (Fla. 1946).
