Deel Realty, LLC, etc., et al. v. Daniel J. O'Malley, etc., et al.

Summary

The Florida Third District Court of Appeal dismissed a petition for writ of certiorari as premature. The court determined that the trial court had overruled the petitioners' discovery objections except as to materials claimed to be protected by attorney-client and work-product privileges, and that the privilege log required for an in-camera review had apparently been filed but had not yet been ruled upon.

Questions Presented
