NATIONAL YOUTH ADVOCATE PROGRAM, Petitioner, v. K.G., the Mother, L.G., J.G., and M.W., each a minor child, Respondents.
National Youth Advocate Program, a subcontracted provider of family support services to the Florida Department of Children and Family Services, seeks certiorari review of an order partially granting the respondent mother's motion to compel records related to the case management work done in her children's dependency matter. The trial court found these records to be public records under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, relevant to the underlying action, and partially discoverable once confidential information is redacted from them. Petitioner's certiorari petition contests the order by asserting privacy concerns related to disclosing files, records, and reports involving its employees and their work. The petition, however, does not contest the trial court's finding that the records, after being redacted to remove confidential information, are public records under Chapter 119. Accordingly, the petition fails to show that the trial court's order compelling the release of (public) records will result in irreparable harm. The petition is DISMISSED on jurisdictional grounds. See Univ. of Fla. Bd. of Trs. v. Carmody, 331 So. 3d 236, 237 (Fla. 1st DCA 2021) (conditioning certiorari jurisdiction upon a showing of irreparable harm).
PER CURIAM.
OSTERHAUS, BILBREY, and NORDBY, JJ., concur.
