Opinion
August Urbanek seeks review of an order appointing a special master to oversee disputed discovery. We grant the petition. Pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.490(c) the trial court may not refer a matter to a magistrate, either general or special, without the consent of all of the parties. Washington Park Props., LLC v. Estrada, 996 So.2d 892 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008); Gielchinsky v. Vibo Corp., 5 So.3d 785 (Fla. 3d DCA 2009). We grant the petition and direct the trial court to vacate its order of referral to the special master.
Petition granted, order quashed.
