Opinion of the Court
Nordby

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the circuit court, Fourth Judicial Circuit, challenging an order from the Duval County Court, which denied Petitioner discovery. As of January 1, 2021, section 26.012, Florida Statutes, was amended to remove a circuit court’s jurisdiction to hear most appeals from the county courts. Ch. 2020-61, § 3, Laws of Florida. As such, the circuit courts also lost jurisdiction to issue extraordinary writs in those same cases. See Dep’t of Health, Bd. of Dentistry v. Barr, 882 So. 2d 501, 501 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004) (“The circuit court does not have jurisdiction to issue an extraordinary writ if it does

not have direct appellate jurisdiction over the subject matter.”).∗ The petition was transferred to this court.

As Petitioner has not established any irreparable harm, the petition for writ of certiorari is dismissed. See CQB, 2010, LLC v. Bank of New York Mellon, 177 So. 3d 644, 645 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015).

DISMISSED.
