2 Pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.040(c), we treat Collins’s petition regarding the order denying her motion for disqualification of Respondent’s trial counsel as an interlocutory appeal1 and affirm without further discussion. The petition for writ of certiorari regarding the stay order is dismissed. AFFIRMED, in part; DISMISSED, in part. JAY, C.J., and LAMBERT and EDWARDS, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R.
