BY ORDER OF THE COURT:
The petitioner's petition for a writ prohibiting Judge William H.

Accordingly, a successor judge shall be immediately appointed pursuant to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.215(b)(4).
The petitioner's motion to review the trial court's oral ruling denying stay is denied as moot.
