PER CURIAM.
This matter is before the Court on Petition for Approval of Conditional Guilty Plea for Consent Judgment and Entry of Final Order of Discipline.
On October 11, 1978, The Florida Bar filed its Petition alleging:
“1. On November 9, 1977, the Eleventh Circuit Grievance Committee ‘K’ filed its report with The Florida Bar finding probable cause in case number 11K75-9. In that report the committee found that respondent engaged in conduct which adversely reflected on his fitness to practice law in that he wilfully failed to file an income tax return for the year 1970. The committee took notice that respondent had been convicted of a criminal misdemeanor for failure to file an income tax return for the aforementioned year. “2. On November 9, 1977, respondent, SANFORD FREED, submitted to The Florida Bar his Conditional Guilty Plea. In his plea, respondent agrees to a public reprimand by the court to be published in the Southern Reporter. “3. By his plea, Mr. Freed admitted that he failed to file his income tax return for the year 1970, a federal misdemeanor. “4. On March 17, 1978, the Board of Governors of The Florida Bar approved the Conditional Guilty Plea.”
The Petition for Approval of Conditional Guilty Plea is granted, and Respondent, Sanford Freed, is hereby disciplined by public reprimand to be published in the Southern Reporter based upon the facts set forth above. The publication of this Opinion shall serve as the public reprimand to Respondent.
Costs in the amount of $100.00 are hereby taxed against the Respondent.
It is so ordered.

Although such a pre-judgment order is not appealable, the moving party can seek review by petitioning the court with appellate jurisdiction for a writ of prohibition. See, e.g., Bundy v.

Honorable Mary Ann MacKENZIE v. Super Kids Bargain Store, Inc., 565 So. 2d 1332 (Fla. 1990)…uded that the ground for disqualification asserted in the initial motion was legally insufficient, we agree with the decision below that Breakstone’s subsequent motion for disqualification should have been granted. This Court noted in Bundy v. Rudd, 366 So. 2d 440, 442 (Fla.1978), that: Regardless of whether respondent ruled correctly in denying the motion for disqualification as legally insufficient, our rules clearly provide, and we have repeatedly held, that a judge who is presented with a motion for his…

Barwick v. State, 660 So. 2d 685 (Fla. 1995)…hough the judge made statements about the contents of Bar-wick’s motion during the hearing and referred to the transcript of a prior hearing in its order, we do not find that the trial judge stepped beyond the bounds we established in Bundy v. Rudd, 366 So. 2d 440 (Fla.1978), and recently affirmed in Rogers v. State, 630 So. 2d 513 (Fla.1993). Specifically, we do not construe Judge Foster’s references to the transcript of the April 2 hearing as anything more than a reference to how the court initially dealt w…
