Petition for writ of certiorari to the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Elijah H. Williams, Judge; L.T. Case No. 11–006441 DL00B.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Don M. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for petitioner. Antony P. Ryan, Regional Counsel, and Melanie L. Casper, Assistant Regional Counsel, Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel, West Palm Beach, for respondent.
PER CURIAM.

An order granting a defendant's pretrial motion in limine is not appealable under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140, but the order is reviewable by common-law certiorari. See State v. Pettis, 520 So.2d 250 (Fla.1988); State v. Sealy Doe, 861 So.2d 530 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003). We therefore treat the state's appeal of the order granting the motion in limine as a petition for writ of certiorari. The petition is denied.

Denied.
