BENTON, C.J.

Lance Block, P.A. (Block) appeals a non-final order compelling arbitration in an interpleader action it brought in circuit court. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.130(a)(3)(C)(iv). Block contends that the order compelling arbitration is void because the trial judge simultaneously entered an order of recusal. We vacate the order compelling arbitration on this ground, and remand for reconsideration by the successor judge.
