“Raoul Cantero III, the first Hispanic to serve on the Florida Supreme Court and one of its most conservative members, said Friday he is resigning in September for personal reasons.

The 47-year-old justice was appointed to the court in 2002 by then-Gov. Jeb Bush, a Republican. He said it has been difficult for his family to leave their Miami hometown.

“They still call Miami home,” Cantero said. “I always considered like I was kind of a judge for a day, somebody that didn’t belong here that they let to be here for a day, and it happened to be six years’ worth.”"*
