NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED

Petition for Writ of Prohibition A Case of Original Jurisdiction. Michael Kraynick, Judge.

Elizabeth Siano Harris, of Harris Appellate Law Office, Mims, for Petitioner.

John N. Bogdanoff, of The Carlyle Appellate Law Firm, Orlando, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Former Wife petitions for issuance of a writ of prohibition following the denial of her motion to disqualify. Because the trial court went beyond simply finding the motion to be legally insufficient and did so in a manner which addressed the merits of the motion, we grant the relief sought.

We trust that the issuance of this opinion will obviate the need for the issuance of a formal writ.

PETITION GRANTED.

COHEN and WALLIS, JJ., concur.

EISNAUGLE, J., dissents, without opinion.
