Opinion
No. 5D00-75.
Opinion filed March 17, 2000.
Petition for Writ of Prohibition, Barbara Gurrola, Respondent Judge.
Geoffrey D. Ringer and Pierre J. Seacord, Ringer Henry, P.A., Orlando, for Petitioners, William L. Dixon, M.D., and Inverness Surgical Associates, P.A.
Law Offices of Michael A. Smith, Dunnellon, for Respondent, Thomas Giallourakis.
Finding the petition for writ of prohibition sufficient to invite a response, we notified the trial court and the opposing litigant. The trial judge declined the invitation and the opposing litigant's response indicated that it is immaterial whether the cause is transferred to another judge. We therefore grant the writ, quash the order denying recusal and remand to the Fifth Judicial Circuit for reassignment.
PETITION GRANTED; ORDER QUASHED; REMANDED.
DAUKSCH, PETERSON and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
