PER CURIAM.

Felix Lopez-Mahones petitions for a writ of prohibition alleging that he should be discharged in Case Number 2013-CF-006066-A-0, in and for the Ninth Judicial Circuit, because the State violated his right to a speedy trial. We agree with Petitioner that the trial court erred in striking his demands for speedy trial, and that the time for speedy trial has now run. Accordingly, we direct the circuit court to enter an order discharging Lopez-Mahones from the pending charges in that case. See Mumani v. State, 63 So.3d 923, 924 (Fla. 5th DCA 2011).

WRIT GRANTED.
