Opinion filed September 16, 2014.
Petition for Writ of Prohibition -- Original Jurisdiction.
Bruce A. Miller, Public Defender, and David A. Dunkerley, Assistant Public Defender,
Pensacola, for Petitioner.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Charlie McCoy, Assistant Attorney General,
Tallahassee, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM.
By petition for writ of prohibition, petitioner seeks review of the lower tribunal’s
order denying his amended motion for disqualification. Upon review, we find that the
motion for disqualification was legally sufficient. The petition for writ of prohibition
is therefore granted and the trial judge is directed to enter an order of disqualification
which requests the chief circuit judge to appoint a successor judge.
