Third District Court of Appeal
State of Florida
Opinion filed October 5, 2016.
Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
________________
No. 3D16-2081
Lower Tribunal No. 15-10548
________________
Eugene Rudoy,
Petitioner,
vs.
Denis Rudoy,
Respondent.
A Case of Original Jurisdiction – Prohibition.
Eugene Rudoy, in proper person.
Anna C. Fernandez, for respondent.
Before LAGOA, EMAS, and LOGUE, JJ.
LAGOA, J.
Petitioner, Eugene Rudoy, seeks a writ of prohibition to disqualify the trial
court judge. We deny the petition.
On October 21, 2015, Petitioner moved to disqualify the trial court judge
based on comments made at a July 9, 2015 hearing. The motion was denied by the
trial court judge on November 4, 2015. Rudoy filed the instant petition with this
Court on September 9, 2016.
Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.330(e) states that “[a] motion to
disqualify shall be filed within a reasonable time not to exceed 10 days after
discovery of the facts constituting the grounds for the motion and shall be
promptly presented to the court for an immediate ruling.” Because the motion to
disqualify was not timely filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration
2.330(e), the petition for writ of prohibition is denied. See State v. Oliu,
183 So.
3d 1161, 1163 (Fla. 3d DCA 2016); Sherman v. Town of Bay Harbor Islands,
939
So. 2d 1110 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006).
Petition denied.
