PER CURIAM.
Petitioner, Amos Silverain, seeks a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to accept his written waiver of appearance for a case management conference. We dismiss the petition, finding that the issuance of a writ of mandamus would provide no relief to Petitioner under the facts of this case. See Rodriguez v. Smith, 673 So. 2d 559, 560 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996) (noting that a writ of mandamus will not be issued to direct an officer to perform a futile act).
PETITION DISMISSED.
LAMBERT, GROSSHANS, and SASSO, JJ., concur.
