United Healthcare Services, Inc., etc., et al. v. Benjamin Cousins, M.D., P.A.
The Third District denied United Healthcare's certiorari petition seeking to quash a broad document production order. Given the trial court's wide discretion over discovery and the demanding certiorari standard, the panel found no departure from the essential requirements of law — particularly where the petitioners had themselves relied on the same data and had obtained an order compelling the respondent to produce the same category of documents. Burden evidence submitted only after the hearing, with a motion for reconsideration, could not carry the petition.
