Dario CARNEVALE and Flavia Carnevale, Appellants, v. Guy M. SHIR, et al., Appellees.
Affirmed. See Takefman v. Pickleball Club LLC, 422 So. 3d 239, 240 (Fla. 3d DCA 2025) (“This case concerns an attempt to disqualify an opposing party's counsel. Such attempts should be viewed with caution and skepticism as they can be used to harass the opposing party and counsel, or for other indecorous tactical reasons. Because the trial court did not abuse its discretion in repudiating these attempts, we affirm.”); Zayas-Bazan v. Marcelin, 40 So. 3d 870, 872–73 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (“A party can waive his right to seek disqualification of the opposing party's counsel by failing to promptly move for disqualification upon learning of the facts leading to the alleged conflict.”); Transmark, U.S.A., Inc. v. State, Dept. of Ins., 631 So. 2d 1112, 1116 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994) (“A motion to disqualify should be made with reasonable promptness after the party discovers the facts which lead to the motion.”); Lackow v. Walter E. Heller & Co. Se., Inc., 466 So. 2d 1120, 1122 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985) (“[A]fter learning of the facts supporting a motion to disqualify counsel, a party may not unduly delay the filing of such motion.”).
PER CURIAM.
