LANE v. HOYT (2018)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Britany LANE f/k/a Brittany Hoyt, Petitioner, v. Charles HOYT, Respondent.

No. 1D18-2082

Decided: August 01, 2018

David A. Carroll, Pensacola, for Petitioner. Caryn Van Matre, Pensacola, for Respondent.

The petition for writ of prohibition is denied on the merits.

The motion to disqualify the trial judge raised sufficient grounds for disqualification but was untimely. See Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.330(d)(1) & (e). I therefore concur in the denial of the petition for writ of prohibition. Of course, the trial judge retains “authority to enter an order of disqualification on the judge's own initiative.” Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.330(i).

Per Curiam.

Wetherell and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur; Bilbrey, J., concurs with opinion.
