Alfio COLIN, Petitioner, v. The Honorable Harry G. HINCKLEY, Jr.; General Master Philip Schlissel, and Erika Colin, Respondents.
    No. 92-1184.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    July 8, 1992.
    John H. Pelzer, of Ruden, Barnett, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for petitioner.
    Frank J. Bennardo, Boca Raton, for respondent Erika Colin.
   PER CURIAM.

We grant the petition for a writ of mandamus. See Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.490(c); Hanor v. Hinckley, 584 So.2d 1129 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991). Respondent Hinckley shall vacate the order of reference to the general master and shall promptly schedule a hearing before the court on all pending applications. We expressly disapprove of the practice, if it is a practice, of routinely assigning all such matters to a general master and then overruling any objection by a non-consenting party.

MANDAMUS GRANTED.

DELL and FARMER, JJ., concur.

GUNTHER, J., concurring in result only.
