PER CURIAM.

Petitioner John Doe requests that this Court review and reverse an Order Granting Defendant's Motion to Determine Confidentiality of Court Records Pursuant to Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.420(c)(9). Pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.040(c), we sua sponte treat the petition as a notice of appeal from a final order and affirm. See Nat'l Equity Recovery Servs., Inc. v. Williams, 962 So.2d 977, 978 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007) (treating a petition for a writ of certiorari as a plenary appeal upon determination that the post decretal order is dispositive). See also Clearwater Fed. Savs. &Loan Assn. v. Sampson, 336 So.2d 78, 79 (Fla. 1976) ("Where an order after judgment is dispositive of any question, it becomes a final post decretal order.").

AFFIRMED.

COHEN, EISNAUGLE and NARDELLA, JJ., concur.
