v.

No. 1D18-2082

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

August 1, 2018

David A. Carroll, Pensacola, for Petitioner.

Caryn Van Matre, Pensacola, for Respondent.

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.

Bilbrey, J., concurring.

*796The 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).
