Opinion of the Court

October 15, 2018 PER CURIAM.

The petition for writ of prohibition is denied on the merits. See Amato v. Winn Dixie Stores/Sedgwick James, 810 So. 2d 979 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002) (observing that whether a motion to disqualify was timely filed generally will involve a factual determination, and thus, is reviewed to determine whether competent, substantial evidence supports the trial court’s ruling).

ROBERTS, ROWE, and RAY, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331.

_____________________________ Anne M. Rush, Alachua, for Petitioner. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Amanda Stokes, Senior Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
