In these PIP cases, Petitioner Universal X Rays, Corp. challenges, via petitions for writ of prohibition, trial court orders denying Petitioner's various motions to disqualify the trial court. We, sua sponte, consolidate the various cases and deny the petitions. See Thompson v. State, 759 So. 2d 650, 659 (Fla. 2000) (“[T]he fact that a judge has ruled adversely to the party in the past does not constitute a legally sufficient ground for a motion to disqualify.”); 5-H Corp. v. Padovano, 708 So. 2d 244, 248 (Fla. 1997) (“However, we today hold that a Florida judge's mere reporting of perceived attorney unprofessionalism to The Florida Bar, in and of itself, is legally insufficient to support judicial disqualification. The same applies in the similar context of an attorney reporting perceived judicial unprofessionalism to the JQC.”); Fla. Code Jud. Conduct, Canon 3E(1) cmt. (“[I]f a lawyer or party has previously filed a complaint against the judge with the Judicial Qualifications Commission, that fact does not automatically require disqualification of the judge.”).

PER CURIAM.
