Edelman v. Yemma

Edelman v. Yemma
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 26, 2001 · Harris, Orfinger, Thompson
802 So. 2d 358; 2001 Fla. App. LEXIS 15156; 2001 WL 1295241 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Edelman v. Yemma

Opinion of the Court

ORFINGER, R. B., J.

Jeri Edelman seeks certiorari review of a non-final discovery order compelling production of her medical records. Edelman, the defendant below, contends that the information contained in her medical records is irrelevant to her ability to operate a motor vehicle and her liability, if any, for the motor vehicle collision that is the subject of the underlying lawsuit. We deny the petition. The trial court has broad discretion in determining the scope of allowable discovery. East Colonial Refuse Serv., Inc. v. Velocci, 416 So.2d 1276 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982). We find no abuse of that discretion.

PETITION DENIED.

THOMPSON, C.J., and HARRIS, J., concur.
