IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA INTERNAL MEDICINE ASSOCIATES OF JACKSONVILLE, GARY A. DECKER, M.D., P.A., a Florida Corporation, Petitioners, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED CASE NO. 1D03-0666 v. CHRIS B. RATHBURN, M.D., GARY A. DECKER, M.D., GEORGE COMACHO, M.D. and JOY R. GRIFFIN, Respondents. _____________________________/ Opinion filed August 29, 2003. Petition for writ of certiorari--original jurisdiction. Richard Margulies and Benjamin D. Sharkey of Akerman, Senterfitt, Jacksonville; and Michael J. Dewberry, Charles R. Walker, Jr., of Hedrick, Dewberry, Regan & Durant, P.A., Jacksonville, for petitioners. John S. Mills and Rebecca Bowen Creed, of Mills & Carlin, Jacksonville, for respondents. WOLF, C.J. We deny the petition for writ of certiorari because the trial court s orders granting Dr. Chris Rathburn s motions to compel do not depart from the essential requirements of the law. See Transmark, USA, Inc. v. State, Department of Ins., 631 So. 2d 1112 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994). We note that, while they are arguably unclear, our reading of the trial court s orders allows petitioners to withhold for later in camera review all accountant-client and attorney-client privileged materials relating to the instant litigation. LEWIS and POLSTON, JJ., CONCUR.
