ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
(JAMES E.C. PERRY, J.) Progressive Express Insurance Company (“Progressive”) petitions this Court for a Writ of Certiorari, seeking review of a decision rendered by the lower court requiring Progressive to produce certain discovery related to a computer database utilized by Progressive to determine the “usual and customary charge” for a particular medical service in the medical provider’s geographical region. The instant case is factually similar to Progressive Express Insurance Company v. St. Germain Chiropractic, 12 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 1038a (18th Judicial Circuit August 9, 2005). Pursuant to the reasoning and holding in Progressive Express Insurance Company v. St. Germain, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Petition for Writ of Certiorari is DENIED.
