## Opinion text

BASKIN, Judge
(dissenting).
The court failed to consider that reasonable fear of deprivation of a fair trial mandates a trial judge’s recusal. § 38.10, Fla. Stat. (1989); Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.432. I would therefore grant the motion for rehearing for the reasons stated in my dissent to the opinion filed April 16, 1991.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and BARDKULL, HUBBART, NESBITT, BASKIN, FERGUSON, JORGENSON, COPE, LEVY, GERSTEN and GODERICH, JJ.
