County; Christopher C. Nash, Judge.
Heather A. DeGrave of Hahn Loeser & Parks, LLP, Tampa, for
Petitioners.
Joseph H. Lang, Jr., of Carlton Fields, P.A., Tampa, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM.
PJS Consulting, Inc.; Paul J. Sierra Construction, Inc.; Sierra
Construction & Restoration, Inc.; Sierra Residential Holdings, LLP; Sierra
Commercial Holdings, LLP; and EAS Holdings, LLP, initiated this

2
proceeding as an appeal from the trial court's order granting Gina
Sierra's motion for an order directing immediate production of business
records. After consideration of supplemental jurisdictional briefs from
the parties, we treat this appeal as a petition for writ of certiorari.1 Cf.
Universal Eng'g Testing Co. v. Israel, 707 So. 2d 900, 901-02 (Fla. 5th
DCA 1998) (involving petition for writ of certiorari directed at order
requiring corporation to produce business records at request of alleged
stockholder); Jewelers Int'l Showcase, Inc. v. Mandell, 529 So. 2d 1211,
1212 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988) (similar); Oil Conservationists, Inc. v. Gilbert,
471 So. 2d 650, 652-54 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985) (similar). Having considered
this case on the merits, we hold that petitioners have failed to
demonstrate a departure from the essential requirements of the law. We
therefore deny the petition.
Denied.
