SUPER VISION INTERNATIONAL, INC., etc., Petitioner, v. Jack CARUSO, et al., Respondents.
    No. 5D00-2460.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Nov. 17, 2000.
    
      John Edwin Fisher, Steven M. Fahlgren and Joseph Tamborello, Jr. of Fisher, Rushmer, Werrenrath, Dickson, Talley & Dunlap, P.A., Orlando, for Petitioner.
    Honorable Joseph P. Baker, Respondent.
    Philip J. Snyderburn and William M. Rishoi of Snyderburn, Rishoi & Swann, Winter Park, for Respondents Samson Mong Wu, et al.
    Douglas C. Spears of Stump, Storey & Callahan, P.A., Orlando, for Respondent Jack Caruso.
   PER CURIAM.

The petitioner herein seeks a writ of prohibition directed to the trial court. Upon due consideration, the petition is DENIED.

COBB and SAWAYA, JJ., concur.

GRIFFIN, J., dissents, with opinion.

GRIFFIN, J.,

dissenting.

Though a close question, I would not have favored prohibition based solely on the matters contained in the motion to disqualify and the petition for writ of cer-tiorari. The response filed by the trial judge has convinced me, however, that the atmosphere that has been created is unfair to petitioners and they should have a new judge. J & J Inds., Inc. v. Carpet Showcase of Tampa Bay, Inc., 723 So.2d 281 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998).
