No. 3D13-743
Before SHEPHERD and FERNANDEZ, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.
109 So. 3d 894 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2013) Positive Treatment
Cited by 1 case

Opinion of the Court
SHEPHERD, J.

SHEPHERD, J.

We treat the instant petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus as a petition for certiorari and quash the order appointing a special magistrate to hear all discovery matters in this marital dissolution *895case. As the respondent’s counsel properly concedes, the order, which was entered without consent of the parties, is over-broad and contrary to established law. As stated in Florida Family Law Rule 12.492(b), “without consent of the parties [the trial court] may [only] appoint an attorney as a special magistrate to preside over depositions and rule upon objections.”

Petition granted, and order quashed.
