• Williams v. State, 689 So. 2d 393 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997)
  …33 L.Ed.2d 766 (1996); § 38.10, Fla. Stat. (1995); Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.160. The motion “must be well-founded and contain facts germane to the judge’s undue bias, prejudice, or sympathy.” Jackson v. State, 599 So. 2d 103, 107 (Fla.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 1004, 113 S.Ct. 612, 121 L.Ed.2d 546 (1992). Applying this criteria to Williams’ motions, ground one clearly does not set forth a basis for recusal.

Petrullo, 604 So. 2d 536 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992), in which, we held th…

  …rgain Store, Inc., 565 So. 2d 1332, 1335 (Fla. 1990) ; Barber v. MacKenzie, 562 So. 2d 755, 757 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990). Any alleged bias or prejudice must be actual, not presumptive. See, e.g., Jackson v. State, 599 So. 2d 103, 107 (Fla.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 1004, 113 S.Ct. 612, 121 L.Ed.2d 546 (1992). In the cases before us, the verified motions for disqualification evidence a common template. The body of the motion recites that: a named member of the Law Firm is the Attorney Candidate running against the…
