Claughton v. Claughton, 452 So. 2d 1073

PER CURIAM.

We cannot on the record before us conclude that the statements set forth in the final judgment upon which ‍​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‍the petitioner based her application to disqualify the trial judge were so unrelated to the issues being tried as to constitute other than adverse judicial rulings which under well-settled law are not a ‍​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‍basis for disqualification for bias or prejudice. See Wilson v. Renfroe, 91 So.2d 857 (Fla. 1957); State ex rel. Locke v. Sandler, 156 Fla. 136, 23 So.2d 276 (1945). Whether such rulings were correct or not is a ‍​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‍matter to be determined on appeal from the final judgment.

Accordingly, the petition for writ of prohibition is

Denied.
