Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

How common is it for your Judge or any DCJ for that matter, to vacate his/her referral of a 2255 petition to a magistrate ... just as the case is ripe for decision ... and rule on the case himself? Say, in how many 2255 petitions out of a hundred would a DCJ do this?
