Monique Haughton Worrell v. Ron D. DeSantis

Summary

The Court denied the petition for quo warranto challenging the Governor’s suspension of the State Attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit and dismissed the mandamus request as an improper vehicle. It held that judicial review is limited to the face of the suspension order and asks whether the order identifies constitutionally authorized grounds supported by allegations bearing a reasonable relation to those grounds. The Court concluded that the order’s allegations concerning charging and sentencing practices sufficiently related to neglect of duty and incompetence, while the sufficiency of the evidence remained for the Senate.
