ANCHOR PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY v. YANES (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

ANCHOR PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, Petitioner, v. Miguel YANES and Sisy Noal-Yanes, Respondents.

No. 3D20-331

Decided: March 04, 2020

Before SALTER, HENDON, and LOBREE, JJ.

Bressler, Amery & Ross, P.C., and Hope C. Zelinger and Michael Shifrin (Fort Lauderdale), for petitioner. The Roller Law Group, and Amy L. Melia (Hollywood), for respondents.

Anchor Property and Insurance Casualty Insurance Company (“Anchor Property”) petitions this Court for a writ of certiorari, seeking to quash the portion of trial court's order entered on January 16, 2020, that requires production of all documents in the field adjuster's claim file created prior to the date of denial. We grant the petition for writ of certiorari and quash the order under review. See State Farm Fla. Ins. Co. v. Desai, 106 So. 3d 5, 6 (Fla. 3d DCA 2013) (“In seeking certiorari review of the discovery order, State Farm contends Florida law ‘prohibits insureds from obtaining discovery into an insurer's claims files and claims handling materials until contract/coverage litigation has been concluded.’ As State Farm's argument is well taken, we grant the petition for writ of certiorari and quash the discovery order under review.”).

Petition granted; order quashed.

HENDON, J.
