DIANE E. MCGILL, RESPONDENT
584 So. 2d 185
Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (1991)
Positive Treatment

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
The petitioners, a dentist and his professional association, seek a writ of certiorari to quash an order that compelled disclosure of the names and addresses of all the dentist’s patients who received treatment from January 1, 1990, through the date of the interrogatory. Because we conclude it has not been shown that, at this stage of the respondent’s slander action, the requested discovery is either relevant or likely to lead to relevant discovery, we grant the petition, quash the trial court’s order, and remand for further proceedings.

Nash v. Nash, 624 So. 2d 370 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993)…Grigsby, 293 So. 2d 404 (Fla. 4th DCA1974)). In the instant ease, the trial court heard the evidence and the testimony and concluded that there was no competent substantial evidence to warrant restricting the husband’s visitation. See Azar v. Azar, 584 So. 2d 185 (Fla. 4th DCA1991). Based on the record, we find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion either in ordering that the husband have unsupervised visitation with the children or in not requiring that the husband undergo counseling. The wife…

CF Indus., Inc., 693 So. 2d 580 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997)…orders entitling a party carte blanche to discovery which has been affirmatively established to be irrelevant, or which will not lead to the discovery of relevant information. Allstate Ins. Co., 655 So. 2d at 95. See also McMillan, D.M.D. v. McGill, 584 So. 2d 185 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991). We conclude that the discovery order in this case is the type of carte blanche order disapproved in Allstate, designed to require production of documents which have no bearing on any issues in the case. We are disturbed by the r…
