Supreme Court of Florida
Sep 20, 2005
913 So. 2d 595 (Fla. 2005)

Opinion

Case No. SC03-2265.

September 20, 2005.

Lower Tribunal No. 1D03-4202.


The petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See Travelers Ins. Co. v. Rodriguez, 357 So. 2d 464 (Fla. 2d DCA 1978) (stating that it is well established that the district court has the authority to dismiss a case for failure to comply with its orders or rules of procedure); Migliore v. City of Lauderhill, 415 So. 2d 62, 63 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982), approved, 431 So. 2d 986 (Fla. 1983) (holding that mandamus is not an appropriate vehicle for review of a merely erroneous decision); Rivera v. State, 717 So. 2d 477, 481 (Fla. 1998) (stating that the fact that the judge has made adverse rulings in the past against the defendant is considered a legally insufficient reason to warrant the judge's disqualification). Accordingly, all pending motions are also denied.

WELLS, ANSTEAD, QUINCE, CANTERO and BELL, JJ., concur.
