PER CURIAM.
In a 169-count complaint, appellant, a licensed Florida physician, was charged with inappropriately prescribing methaqualone (quaaludes)1 on twenty-two specified dates to nine patients in violation of chapter 458, Florida Statutes (1983) (Medical Practice Act) and section 893.05, Florida Statutes (1983) (Florida Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act). The drug dispensing operation was run out of a “Stress Clinic” owned by a non-physician. This appeal is brought from a license revocation order of the Board of Medical Examiners. On examination of the entire record the evidence of statutory violations is overwhelming. The order is therefore
Affirmed.
. Each prescription was for forty-five tablets of 300 mg. methaqualone. Some were written before the "patients" were seen.

Notably, the withdrawal of an attorney does not give the client an absolute right to a continuance. See Alter v. Alter, 473 So. 2d 775 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985). There is nothing in the record to indicate that the denial of the appellants’ motion for continuance created an injustice for them. This was not a difficult trial. There were few witnesses, and the appellants had possession of a…
