Opinion of the Court

September 9, 2019 PER CURIAM.

The order under review does not preclude Petitioner from responding to a motion for contempt and sanctions, nor does it preclude a future hearing on sanctions and determination of contempt. No ruling has yet been made on contempt or sanctions, and Petitioner will have avenues of review for any future orders on contempt or sanctions. Therefore, Petitioner has not demonstrated irreparable harm, and we dismiss the petition for writ of certiorari for lack of jurisdiction. See Landmark at Crescent Ridge LP v. Everest Financial, Inc., 219 So. 3d 218, 219 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017) (explaining that where the threshold requirement of irreparable harm is not established, the petition for writ of certiorari must be dismissed).
