State ex rel. Robinson v. Nelson
State ex rel. Robinson v. Nelson
Opinion of the Court
George G. Robinson, Sr., has filed in this court his suggestion for writ to prohibit The Honorable Warren A. Nelson from exercising jurisdiction in Case No. 66-3228 filed against him in the Criminal Court of Record, Duval County. The Respondent’s return reflects that prior to the issuance of rule nisi, Robinson moved the lower court for a change of venue and same was granted. Attached to the return is a copy of Respondent’s order transferring the cause to the Criminal Court of Record, Hills-borough County.
Prohibition, being a preventive rather than a corrective remedy, will not lie where there remains nothing to be done by the court or person to whom it is directed.
Being without jurisdiction, we hereby discharge rule nisi and dismiss the suggestion without prejudice.
