Opinion
No. 98-1309
Opinion filed May 5, 1999.
Petition for Writ of Prohibition — Original Jurisdiction.
William S. Graessle of Winegeart Graessle, Jacksonville, for petitioner.
Jerry G. Traynham of Patterson Traynham, Tallahassee, for respondents.
The order of reference to a special master without consent of opposing parties was contrary to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.490(c). For this reason, prohibition is granted so as to prevent respondents from further enforcing the order of reference. Meenan v. Newman, 662 So.2d 1320 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995). We assume issuance of a formal writ will not be necessary.
RELIEF AWARDED.
WOLF, LAWRENCE and BROWNING, JJ., concur.
