District Court of Appeal of Florida

A petition for writ of certiorari, challenging an order directing petitioner and a county to mediate issues raised in a petition for writ of mandamus and imposing a sanction of payment of the bill of the mediator before whom he failed to appear, is granted in part and denied in part where the trial court did not err in finding that petitioner failed to appear at mediation without good cause or in sanctioning petitioner, but it did depart from the essential requirements of law by ordering mediation of the issues raised in the mandamus petition.
