PER CURIAM.
This is a non-final appeal from an interlocutory order in a divorce case which treated a number of pending motions filed by the parties.
The main focus of the trial court was directed to appellant’s motion to restrict the appellee’s visitation rights due to an alleged instance of child abuse that occurred during the overnight visitation of two of the children with the father. Specifically, the mother claimed the child’s arm was bruised as a result of rough handling of the child. The court heard evidence and argument regarding the various motions, including an in camera hearing with the two children regarding the episode referred to above, and concluded that there was no competent substantial evidence to warrant restricting the father’s visitation.
The record presented, including a transcript of the in camera hearing, supports the trial judge’s conclusion.
Accordingly, the order appealed from is affirmed. The transcript of the in camera proceeding shall remain sealed and returned to the trial court to be opened only upon order of the trial court.
DOWNEY and WARNER, JJ., concur. GLICKSTEIN, C.J., dissents with opinion.
GLICKSTEIN, Chief Judge,
dissenting with opinion.
I am troubled enough by what I have read to conclude reversal and remand are appropriate.

Nash v. Nash, 624 So. 2d 370 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993)…Grigsby, 293 So. 2d 404 (Fla. 4th DCA1974)). In the instant ease, the trial court heard the evidence and the testimony and concluded that there was no competent substantial evidence to warrant restricting the husband’s visitation. See Azar v. Azar, 584 So. 2d 185 (Fla. 4th DCA1991). Based on the record, we find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion either in ordering that the husband have unsupervised visitation with the children or in not requiring that the husband undergo counseling. The wife…

We conclude that the discovery order in this case is the type of carte blanche order disapproved in Allstate, designed to require production of documents which have no bearing on any issues in the case. We are disturbed by the r…
