Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 31, 2007 · Rothenberg, Schwartz, Suarez
949 So. 2d 1084; 2007 Fla. App. LEXIS 1041; 2007 WL 258161 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Guardian Ad Litem Program for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit v. T.T.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is a Petition for Writ of Prohibition filed by the Guardian Ad Litem Program for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, and the Florida Department of Children and Family Services. We find the petition to be well-founded as the facts alleged in the petition would create in a reasonably prudent person a well-founded fear of not receiving a fair and impartial trial. Accordingly, we grant the petition for writ of prohibition.

SUAREZ and ROTHENBERG, JJ., concur.
