Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Petitioners seek a writ of prohibition to prohibit respondent from presiding in further proceedings in the case of Freída McDermott, as personal representative of the Estate of Joseph McDermott, deceased, plaintiff, vs. Thomas N. Ryon, M.D., Thomas N. Ryon, M.D., P.A., d/b/a Ryon Medi cal Center, and The Florida Patient's Compensation Fund, Case No. 87-10322 CP in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Broward County, Florida. Initially we note that the facts as alleged in petitioners' verified motion for recusal and disqualification did not present legally sufficient ground for disqualification of respondent. However, respondent's comments during the hearing on petitioners' motion and the argument made by respondent in responding to an order to show cause issued by this court, shows that respondent went beyond a determination of the sufficiency of the motion to disqualify. Therefore we grant petitioners' petition for writ of prohibition on the authority of Bundy v. Rudd, 366 So.2d 440 (Fla.1978); Gieseke v. Moriarty, 471 So.2d 80 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985) and Fruehe v. Reasbeck, 525 So.2d 471 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988).
PROHIBITION GRANTED.
DOWNEY, DELL and GUNTHER, JJ., concur.
