Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
The Florida Department of Health and State Surgeon General seek certiorari review of an order denying their motion for a protective order as to the deposition of a corporate representative in a public records lawsuit. Because the petition does not demonstrate that the order would result in irreparable harm to the petitioners, the petition is DISMISSED. See Univ. of Fla. Bd. of Trs. v. Carmody, 331 So. 3d 236, 237 (Fla. 1st DCA 2021) (conditioning certiorari jurisdiction upon a showing of irreparable harm which cannot be corrected on direct appeal). RAY, OSTERHAUS, and NORDBY, JJ., concur. _____________________________
