Opinion
No. 2D09-4332.
March 19, 2010.
Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Polk County; John K. Stargel, Judge.
Raul Liranzo-Cruzata, pro se.
Raul Liranzo-Cruzata appeals the denial of his motion to mitigate sentence pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(c), as well as an order denying a motion to disqualify the successor judge who ruled on the motion. The denial of a motion to mitigate a sentence is not appealable, Brown v. State, 707 So.2d 1191 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998); accordingly that aspect of this appeal is dismissed. However, the denial of the motion to disqualify the successor judge is reviewable under this court's jurisdiction to issue writs of prohibition. See Lmskin v. State, 717 So.2d 1076 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998).
The petition for writ of prohibition is denied.
