PER CURIAM.
Samantha Hilton petitions this court for a writ of certiorari quashing the trial court’s order overruling her objections to a noticed compulsory medical examination. We have jurisdiction. See In re G.D., 870 So. 2d 235, 237 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) (“This court has held that interlocutory orders that improperly require mental examinations cause material injury to the petitioner that cannot be remedied on direct appeal.”). Because the order failed to comply with the requirements of Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.360(a)(1)(B), we quash the order and remand for further proceedings. See Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.360(a)(1)(B)(“In cases where the condition in controversy is not physical, a party may move for an examination by a qualified expert as in subdivision (a)(1). The order for examination shall be made only after notice to the person to be examined and to all parties, and shall specify the time, place, manner, conditions, and scope of the examination and the person or persons by whom it is to be made.”) and Delgado v. Miller, 264 So. 3d 1040, 1041 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019). We decline to address the remaining issues raised in the petition.
Petition granted; order quashed.
