District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District
Feb 5, 1988
519 So. 2d 41 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1988)

Opinion

No. 87-2173.

December 24, 1987. Rehearing Denied February 5, 1988.

Petition for Writ of Prohibition, A Case of Original Jurisdiction.

Huntley Johnson, Gainesville, for petitioner.

No Appearance for respondent.


DENIED.

ORFINGER and SHARP, JJ., concur.

DAUKSCH, J., concurs specially, with opinion.


I agree we should deny the petition for writ of prohibition. The trial judge who recused himself after the first motion for disqualification, Judge Eastmoore, may have acted in a manner differently from the proper way cases are reassigned after recusal, by sending the case to Judge Perry, but that is not a matter for our immediate concern. Perhaps it would have been best for the chief circuit judge to make the reassignment but this court is not concerned with overseeing the day-to-day operation of trial courts' administration. If petitioner can point to some jurisdictional defect or later show some reversible error then we will intercede.
