Per Curiam.
Petitioners are defendants in a traffic-accident lawsuit. They seek a writ of certiorari, contending the trial court erred in compelling them to answer interrogatories that seek irrelevant information. To invoke this Court's certiorari jurisdiction, though, Petitioners must show irreparable harm. See, e.g., Mayport Hous. P'ship, Ltd. v. Albani , 244 So.3d 1176, 1178 (Fla. 1st DCA 2018). A trial court's error in granting discovery is ordinarily not a basis for certiorari relief. Bd. of Trustees of Internal Improvement Tr. Fund v. Am. Educ. Enters., LLC , 99 So.3d 450, 457 (Fla. 2012). Here, Petitioners make no showing of privilege or other special basis that would overcome the general rule. We therefore conclude that Petitioners have not shown irreparable harm, meaning we lack jurisdiction to grant relief. Mayport Hous. P'ship , 244 So.3d at 1178.
DISMISSED .
