Opinion

No. 87-2844.

July 6, 1988.

Appeal pursuant to rule 9.030(b)(4) from an Order of the County Court of Pinellas County; Charles S. Carrere, Judge.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Kevin J. O'Donnell and Joseph C. Mellinchamp, III, Asst. Attys. Gen., Tallahassee, James T. Russell, State Atty., Tallahassee, and C. Marie King, Asst. State Atty., Clearwater, and Steven S. Rosenthal of Morrison Foerster, Washington, D.C., for appellants.

Ross B. Ward, Jr., Dunedin, for appellee.


The repeal of the state sales tax on legal services having rendered moot the matters asserted in the appellee's motion to disqualify the state attorney as prosecutor in this case, we reverse the order of the trial judge denying the motion based on his conclusion that chapter 87-6, Laws of Florida, is unconstitutional, and we remand with directions that the appellee's motion be dismissed.

SCHEB, A.C.J., and DANAHY and FRANK, JJ., concur.
