STATE EX REL. BLUDWORTH v. KAPNER

No. 80-2100.

394 So.2d 541 (1981)

STATE of Florida ex rel. BLUDWORTH, Relator, v. Honorable Lewis KAPNER, Circuit Court Judge in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, Respondent.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

February 25, 1981.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Deborah Dale Pucillo, Asst. State Atty., West Palm Beach, for relator.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, West Palm Beach, and Louis G. Carres, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for defendant-Ronald Brummage.

HERSEY, Judge.

The State seeks a Writ of Prohibition to restrain the trial court from executing its order finding the defendant not guilty by reason of insanity. Since the order which the State is actually challenging has already been entered, prohibition is not the proper remedy. The purpose of prohibition is to prevent the doing of something, not to compel the undoing of something already done. English v. McCrary, 348 So.2d 293
