                STATE OF FLORIDA
                  _____________________________

                          No. 1D18-2082
                  _____________________________

BRITANY LANE f/k/a Brittany
Hoyt,

    Petitioner,

    v.

CHARLES HOYT,

    Respondent.
                  _____________________________

Petition for Writ of Prohibition—Original Jurisdiction.

                         August 1, 2018

PER CURIAM.

    The petition for writ of prohibition is denied on the merits.

WETHERELL and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur; BILBREY, J., concurs
with opinion.

                  _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
               _____________________________
BILBREY, J., concurring.

     The motion to disqualify the trial judge raised sufficient
grounds for disqualification but was untimely. See Fla. R. Jud.
Admin. 2.330(d)(1) & (e). I therefore concur in the denial of the
petition for writ of prohibition. Of course, the trial judge retains
“authority to enter an order of disqualification on the judge’s own
initiative.” Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.330(i).

                 _____________________________

David A. Carroll, Pensacola, for Petitioner.

Caryn Van Matre, Pensacola, for Respondent.
