PER CURIAM.

   The petitioner petitions for a writ of certiorari, or alternatively, a writ of
prohibition, requesting that this court find the lower court failed to comply
with this court’s mandate in Ensler v. Aurora Loan Services, LLC, 

95 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015), because it ordered a new trial rather than enter
an order of dismissal. We grant the writ of prohibition. See InPhyNet
Contracting Servs. v. Soria, 

, 1051 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011)
(“Prohibition will therefore lie to prevent a trial court from proceeding
contrary to an appellate court’s mandate.”).

   In Ensler, this court reversed the trial court and remanded for further
proceedings, citing Holt v. Calchas, LLC, 

(Fla. 4th DCA
2015), because Nationstar, the appellee, “failed to present any admissible
evidence” that it complied with the condition precedent to foreclose as set
forth in paragraph twenty-two of the mortgage. Ensler, 

at 98.
In Holt, this court reversed and instructed the trial court to enter an order
of dismissal because there was “insufficient evidence of compliance with
paragraph twenty-two” of the mortgage. 

.

    Following issuance of our opinion, Nationstar moved for clarification,
arguing that this court should clarify that it was remanding for a new trial.
Ensler filed a Response in Opposition to Appellee’s Motion for Clarification
or, Alternatively, Motion for Clarification. Ensler argued there was no need
for clarification as our citation to Holt made it clear that this court intended
for the trial court to dismiss the case on remand. Ensler also argued that
if this court was to clarify its opinion, which, Ensler submitted, was
unnecessary, it should only be to instruct the lower court to enter an order
of dismissal. We denied the motion for clarification. Ensler now moves for
a writ of prohibition because the lower court granted a new trial rather
than dismiss the case.

    Although our opinion in Ensler does not say so explicitly, the citation
to Holt should make it evident that this court intended for the trial court
to enter an order of dismissal upon remand. We therefore grant the writ
of prohibition to the extent the trial court is precluded from entertaining a
new trial and must instead comply with the mandate in Ensler and enter
an order of dismissal.

STEVENSON, LEVINE and KLINGENSMITH, JJ., concur.

                             *         *         *

   Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
