Here are links to lists of current circuit and county judges within the Seventh Judicial Circuit of Florida-he is not on either list but that does not mean he is not sitting on the bench elsewhere. I just did not research any further.

Quoting myself to add to the above post.
I had time to do some more research to see if Prugh is still active within the judicial system of Florida. I found that yes, he is.
Prugh is a General Magistrate/Child Support Hearing Officer. I was not clear on the definition of a state Magistrate so I looked it up. A Magistrate does not have as much power as a judge. They oversee civil and low class criminal misdemeanor cases. They are appointed by a sitting judge and not elected like a judge. A judge can hear civil as well as any type of criminal case ranging anywhere from a traffic ticket to murder.
What's the difference between a Judge & Magistrate?
"A District Judge is a judicial officer of the court whose duties involve hearing applications made within proceedings and final hearings subject to any limit of jurisdiction.
A magistrate is a civil officer with power to administrate and enforce law. A local member of the judiciary having limited jurisdiction, especially in criminal cases. A minor official, such as a justice of the peace, having administrative and limited judicial authority."
