Opinion

Petitioner sought certiorari review of the circuit courts denial of a petition for writ of prohibition regarding disqualification of a county court judge. However, the circuit court lacked jurisdiction to consider the petition. See ch. 2020-61 § 3, Laws of Fla. Therefore, we treat the petition before us as a petition for writ of prohibition. Having reviewed the petition and appendix, there is no facially stated basis to grant relief. The motion to disqualify is legally insufficient on its face. As such, we deny the petition on the merits.

Per Curiam.

B.L. Thomas, Jay, and Tanenbaum, JJ., concur.
