Diop v. Coleman

Opinion of the Court

HARRIS, Judge.

Although with some reluctance because we are aware that a disqualification motion can be used to remove a judge who has merely made prior unfavorable rulings, nevertheless, under the facts of this case, we grant the Writ of Prohibition and direct that future matters involving petitioner herein be assigned to another judge. Feuerman v. Overby, 638 So.2d 179 (Fla. 3d DCA 1994); Levine v. State, 650 So.2d 666 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995).

W. SHARP and ANTOON, JJ., concur.
