Finding that petitioner has adequately alleged a basis for disqualifying the presiding judge, we grant the writ of prohibition. In doing so, we note that "it does not matter whether the substance of the allegations are true." > Jimenez v. Ratine, 954 So. 2d 706, 708 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007); see also Bundy > v. Rudd, 366 So. 2d 440, 442 (Fla. 1978) ("Once a basis for disqualification > has been established, prohibition is both an appropriate and necessary > remedy."). Confident that the trial court will promptly enter an order consistent with this decision, we withhold issuance of the writ. Petition granted; writ withheld. 2
