| Petitioner, Nelson Duran (""Duran""), seeks certiorari review of a non-final discovery order denying his motion to compel deposition testimony from a non-party witness in a breach of fiduciary duty case brought against respondents MFM Group, Inc., Frank Ferrer, and William Daniel Lamey (hereafter collectively referred to as ""MFM""). We deny certiorari finding Duran has failed to demonstrate a departure from the essential requirements of law that cannot be remedied on plenary appeal. During the course of discovery, Duran sought to depose a former employee of MFM in order to obtain financial information. The former employee appeared for deposition but was instructed by MFM's counsel not to answer certain financial questions based upon the accountant-client privilege. See § 473.316, Fla. Stat. (2002). |
