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.

THOMAS, ROBERTS, and RAY, JJ., CONCUR.
