LOUIS J. PEARLMAN, TRANS CONTINENTAL, etc., et al.., Petitioners, v. J. CHENEY MASON, P.A. and WILLIAM B. PRINGLE, III, Respondents. ________________________________/ Opinion filed January 16, 2007 Petition for Writ of Prohibition, Frederick T. Pfeiffer, Respondent Judge. Mary D. Solik, of Foley & Lardner, LLP, Orlando, for Petitioner. Thomas K. Equels, and J. Stanley Chapman of Equels Law Firm, Orlando, for Respondent. Case No. 5D07-25

PER CURIAM. We find that the Petitioner's verified Motion for Disqualification of the trial judge was legally sufficient. See Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.330(d). Accordingly, we grant the petition for writ of prohibition and quash the trial court's order denying Petitioner's motion. We withhold issuing the writ, as we assume that the trial court will act in

conformance with this opinion. PETITION GRANTED.

ORFINGER, MONACO, and TORPY, JJ., concur.
