A petition for writ of certiorari to review an order of a judge of compensation claims compelling claimant to undergo an independent medical examination (IME) is denied over a challenge to the JCC's allowing an employer/carrier (E/C) to select a physician who practiced outside claimant's county of residence, rather than the same IME physician selected by the E/C for an earlier IME.
