Opinion filed October 13, 2014.
Petition for Writ of Certiorari -- Original Jurisdiction.
George N. Meros, Jr. and James Timothy Moore, Jr., of GrayRobinson, P.A.,
Tallahassee; William E. Kuntz, Michael H. Harmon and Earl E. Googe, Jr., of Smith
Hulsey & Busey, Jacksonville; Jack E. Holt, III, of Grower, Ketcham, Rutherford,
Bronson, Eide & Telan, P.A., Orlando, for Petitioner.
Bryan S. Gowdy, of Creed & Gowdy, P.A., Jacksonville, for Respondents Jean
Charles, Jr., Marie Charles, Angel Alston, Jazmin Houston and Ervin Alston.
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner seeks certiorari review of an order granting a motion to compel
discovery that contemplates a future order to determine the scope and breadth of the
discovery and other related issues. However, as the order does not compel discovery,
petitioner has not demonstrated that the order will result in irreparable harm. See
Poston v. Wiggins, 112 So. 3d 783 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013). Accordingly, the petition for
writ of certiorari is denied. AVCO Corp. v. Neff, 30 So. 597, 601 (Fla. 1st DCA
2010).
Respondents’ motion, filed September 10, 2014, seeking dismissal of the
petition is hereby denied.
