Turner v. Turner

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided September 10, 1999

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1999-09-10

Relies on 497 So. 2d 240 - Fischer v. Knuck

Decided 1999-09-10

PER CURIAM.

¶1Judy Ewing Turner has filed a petition for writ of prohibition seeking review of an order denying a motion for recusal. The circuit court judge denied the motion as legally insufficient, and we agree. The *381motion to recuse was not supported by separate affidavits. The few facts sworn to by Turner in the motion were concluso-ry in nature and failed as a matter of law to establish a well-founded fear that she would not receive a fair trial. See Fischer v. Knuck, 497 So.2d 240 (Fla.1986). Therefore, we deny the petition for writ of prohibition.

¶2Petition denied.

PATTERSON, C.J., and ALTENBERND and NORTHCUTT, JJ., concur.
