40 Fla. L. Weekly D2064d
172 So. 3d 1013

Insurance — Discovery — Claim file — Order overruling objections based upon claims of work product and attorney-client privilege quashed

GEICO GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Petitioner, v. LORI FELLER, ETC., ET AL., Respondents. 5th District. Case No. 5D15-505. Opinion filed September 4, 2015. Petition for Certiorari Review of Order from the Circuit Court for Brevard County, John M. Harris, Judge. Counsel: B. Richard Young, Megan M. Hall, and Courtney F. Smith, of Young, Bill, Roumbos & Boles, P.A., Pensacola, for Petitioner. Andrew Pickett, of Alpizar Law, LLC, Palm Bay, for Respondents.

(PER CURIAM.) Petitioner, GEICO General Insurance Company (“GEICO”), seeks certiorari review of an order compelling production of its claim files. We grant certiorari and quash the trial court’s order overruling GEICO’s objections, which were based upon claims of work- product and attorney-client privilege. As the facts and issues are the same in this case as in Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc., v. Feller, 163 So. 3d 1252 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015), we adopt the discussion and analysis set forth in Sedgwick.

Accordingly, we grant certiorari, quash the order on review, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

PETITION GRANTED. (BERGER, WALLIS, and EDWARDS, JJ., concur.)
