FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D22-2834 _____________________________ AUSTIN TYLER MADDOX, Petitioner, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Respondent. _____________________________ Petition for Writ of Prohibition—Original Jurisdiction. October 26, 2022 PER CURIAM. Petitioner sought certiorari review of the circuit court’s 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. B.L. THOMAS, JAY, and TANENBAUM, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ Susan Z. Cohen and David M. Robbins of Epstein & Robbins, Jacksonville, for Petitioner. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Robert “Charlie” Lee, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent. 2
