Full Opinion (html_with_citations)
The petition for writ of mandamus is granted. The circuit court is directed to hold an evidentiary hearing, if needed, and rule on the pending motion for postconviction relief within 60 days. Although we grant the petition, we withhold the actual issuance of the writ, trusting that it is unnecessary in light of this ruling.
