Petition for Writ of Certiorari—Original Jurisdiction.
June 12, 2020
PER CURIAM.
Sandra M. Northcutt files a petition for certiorari requesting
we quash the circuit court’s order allowing opposing counsel to
have access and review certain personal medical records prior to
the judge making an independent in camera determination of
whether the records should be produced despite petitioner’s
objection based on a constitutional right to privacy. Petitioner was
entitled to the appropriate in camera review. Zarzaur v. Zarzaur,
213 So. 3d 1115 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017); McEnany v. Ryan, 44 So. 3d
245 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010). Such independent review must occur
prior to any disclosure to opposing counsel. Zarzaur at 1120.
We, therefore, grant the petition and quash the trial court’s
order.
WOLF and WINOKUR, JJ., and COLAW, JAMES M., ASSOCIATE
JUDGE, concur.
