The petition for writ of prohibition is denied on the merits. See
State v. R.R. Comm’rs of Fla., 84 So. 444, 445 (Fla. 1920) (“The
action which may be restrained by the writ of prohibition must be
judicial or quasi judicial in its nature. The writ will not lie to
prevent officers or tribunals from acting where such action is not
judicial in its nature.”); Broward Cnty. v. Fla. Nat’l Prop., 613 So.
2d 587, 588 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993) (“Prohibition lies only to prevent
judicial or quasi-judicial actions, not legislative, executive or
administerial actions.”); Muina v. Sheriff of Gulf Cnty., 376 So. 2d
276, 276 (Fla. 1st DCA 1979) (“Prohibition will only lie against a
judicial tribunal or one exercising quasi-judicial power.”).
