Petitioner, Malka Fink, seeks review of another portion of the order compelling “full and complete discovery from Plaintiffs’ former medical expert Joan Pehta, M.D.,” an expert witness who had been withdrawn by petitioner. Because no exceptional circumstances were shown to compel discovery of an expert not expected to testify at trial, we grant the petition and quash this part of the trial court’s order.
