Worrell v. DeSantis
Suspended Ninth Circuit State Attorney Monique Worrell sought quo warranto and mandamus relief challenging Governor DeSantis's Executive Order suspending her for neglect of duty and incompetence. The Florida Supreme Court denied the quo warranto petition, holding that its review is limited to confirming the order names a constitutional ground and contains factual allegations bearing 'some reasonable relation' to that ground — a low threshold the Executive Order satisfied. The Court dismissed the mandamus request as an improper vehicle, reaffirming quo warranto as the exclusive means to challenge the Governor's exercise of the suspension power.
