A Florida Supreme Court justice has recused herself from presiding over litigation in which her husband is a member of the entity whose conduct is at issue—the Sixth District Court of Appeal Judicial Nominating Commission—following two motions to disqualify her filed last week.

The cases underlying those motions against Justice Jamie Grosshans are based on a dispute over whether several nominees meet residency requirements to fill vacancies on a revamped Fifth District Court of Appeal and a new Sixth District Court of Appeal.
