   PER CURIAM.

Because we find that the Judge of Compensation Claims should have granted the claimants’ motions to disqualify, the petitions for writ of prohibition are granted. The cases are remanded to Judge of Compensation Claims William H. Dane with directions to grant the motions for disqualification.

Petitioners’ motions for attorney’s fees are denied. Dade County v. Turnbull, 572 So.2d 540 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990).
