Sergio Alberto Castillo v. Marlen Castillo (Corrected)
Sergio Alberto Castillo v. Marlen Castillo (Corrected)
Opinion
CORRECTED OPINION
We grant petitioner’s petition for writ of prohibition, based on his sworn allegation that the trial court failed to allow him to present argument or additional evidence prior to ruling on respondent’s motion for temporary support in this post-dissolution proceeding. We find that this allegation is sufficient to place a reasonably prudent person in fear of not receiving a fair hearing on his legal claims. See Keating v. State, 110 So.3d 538, 539-40 (Fla. 4th DCA *1256 2013); Wade v. Wade, 123 So.3d 697, 698 (Fla. 3d DCA 2013). We direct this case to be reassigned to a successor judge. Swida v. Raventos, 872 So.2d 413, 415 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004). We further vacate the trial court’s order granting respondent’s May 14, 2014 motion for temporary relief and attorney’s fees, as that order was entered subsequent to petitioner’s motion to disqualify the trial judge. Peterson v. Asklipious, 833 So.2d 262, 264 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002).
Petition for writ of prohibition granted.
