BEFORE: HIGGINBOTHAM, PENZATO, LANIER, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED. We find that the trial court erred in denying the motion for vocational examination solely for the reason that a Rule 10. 1 Conference was not held. Further, defendants have shown that plaintiff' s physical and mental condition is in controversy, that good cause exists for a vocational examination, and plaintiff has notified defendants of his intent to use a vocational rehabilitation expert.
