Petitioner sought certiorari review of a circuit court order that denied his motion to compel the production of documents under chapter 119, Florida Statutes. The petitioner argued that the circuit court failed to conduct a required hearing in accordance with section 119.11(1) before denying his public records request. The reviewing court agreed with the petitioner, determining that the circuit court had departed from essential legal requirements, and subsequently quashed the order in question. The decision was concurred by Judges Palmer, Orfinger, and Torpy.
