Sperber v. Sperber
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 30, 1992 · Gunther, Hersey, Polen
609 So. 2d 784; 1992 Fla. App. LEXIS 13741; 1992 WL 385615 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Sperber v. Sperber

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges a contempt order that was entered subsequent to an order denying appellant’s motion for disqualification of the trial judge. In a separate proceeding, appellant petitioned this court for a writ of prohibition directing the disqualification of the trial judge, which was granted. Sperber v. Sperber, 608 So.2d 145 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992). Because the contempt order was entered subsequent to the erroneous denial of appellant’s motion for disqualification, the contempt order is void. Neu v. Andrews, 528 So.2d 1278 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988). Accordingly, we reverse the order appealed and remand for further proceedings.

REVERSED.

HERSEY, GUNTHER and POLEN, JJ„ concur.
