HAMMOCKS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION INC v. STATE (2022)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

HAMMOCKS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, INC., Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.

No. 3D21-1973

Decided: March 16, 2022

Before EMAS, HENDON and BOKOR, JJ.

Rasco Klock Perez & Nieto, and Hilton Napoleon, II, for petitioner. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Asad Ali, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

Because the petitioner, Hammocks Community Association, Inc., fails to show irreparable harm, we dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction. See Walgreen Co. v. Rubin, 229 So. 3d 418, 420-21 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017) (setting forth elements of certiorari relief, including a departure from the essential requirements of the law and a showing of irreparable harm); see also Topp Telecom, Inc. v. Atkins, 763 So. 2d 1197, 1200 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000) (“It seems clear to us that the mere fact of unwarranted effort and expense is not, by itself, synonymous with a ‘departure from the essential requirements of law’ [e.s.] for which immediate review is necessary.”); Killinger v. Guardianship of Grable, 983 So. 2d 30, 32 (Fla. 5th DCA 2008) (“While certiorari may be used to review pre-trial orders compelling discovery, it is generally not appropriate simply based on an argument that the discovery request is overbroad, irrelevant, or burdensome.”).

PER CURIAM.
