Opinion
No. 3D05-1686.
August 17, 2005.
A case of original jurisdiction — prohibition.
Hillary Kambour, for petitioner.
Calianne P. Lantz, for respondent Florida Department of Children and Family Services.
Steve Grossbard, for respondents C.S., C.A., and P.G-S.
Before COPE, C.J., and FLETCHER and SUAREZ, JJ.
Cynthia Ribera, representative of the Guardian Ad Litem Program for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, filed an emergency petition for a writ of prohibition and for immediate stay pending appeal. This court issued an order staying any further proceedings in the lower court and for response from any party opposing the relief requested. Upon consideration of the response from the Florida Department of Children and Family Services, we grant the petition for writ of prohibition but withhold issuing the formal writ, being certain that the trial court judge will recuse himself without the necessity of formal issuance of the writ.
Granted.
