Puig v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 15, 2000 · Cope, Goderich, Shevin
761 So. 2d 354; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 2802; 2000 WL 276366 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Puig v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Jorge Ignacio Puig appeals his conviction for burglary of a dwelling and grand theft. As to the theft count, we conclude that the evidence was sufficient to establish the value of the stolen items and reject appellant’s argument to the contrary. See Pickles v. State, 313 So.2d 715, 717 (Fla. 1975).

The appellant’s pro se argument that the trial court was biased against him is rejected because no motion for disqualification was filed in the trial court. Assuming arguendo such a motion had been filed, the arguments made by appellant for disqualification are legally insufficient.

Affirmed.
