April 21, 2026

PER CURIAM.

Elizabeth Collins petitions for a writ of certiorari seeking relief from a nonfinal order denying her motion to disqualify Respondent’s trial counsel and similar relief from a separate, contemporaneously-entered nonfinal order staying the underlying action.

Pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.040(c), we treat Collins’s petition regarding the order denying her motion for disqualification of Respondent’s trial counsel as an interlocutory appeal 1 and affirm without further discussion.

The petition for writ of certiorari regarding the stay order is dismissed.

AFFIRMED, in part; DISMISSED, in part.

JAY, C.J., and LAMBERT and EDWARDS, JJ., concur.

_____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________

1 We have jurisdiction under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130(a)(3)(E), which permits appeals to the district courts of appeal of nonfinal orders that “grant or deny a motion to disqualify counsel.”
