Opinion

No. 5D00-1971.

Opinion filed August 31, 2000. JULY TERM 2000

Petition for Writ of Prohibition, Jerry T. Lockett, Respondent Judge.

Jeffrey W. Wiggs, Mt. Dora, for Petitioner.

Candace A. Hawthorne, of Hawthorne Law Firm, P.A., Tavares, for Respondent.


We find no error in the denial of the initial motion to recuse. As to the amended motion to recuse, it appears from the documents filed in this court that it was untimely filed. See Fla.R.Jud.Admin. 2.160(e); Carter v. Howey, 707 So.2d 906 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998); Dura-Stress, Inc. v. Law, 634 So.2d 769 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994). The petitioner has not demonstrated any good cause for an exception to the ten-day time requirement.

PETITION DENIED.

COBB, HARRIS, and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
