Miami Transit Company v. Hurns, 46 So.2d 390 (Fla.1950); Allstate Insurance Co. v. Gibbs, 340 So.2d 1202 (Fla. 4th DCA 1976) cert. denied, 354 So.2d 980 (Fla.1977); Dade County v. Monroe, 237 So.2d 598 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1970); Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.280(b)(2). There is no conflict between Section 768.41(4), Fla.Stat. (1979) and Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.280(b)(2).

The writ of certiorari is granted and the orders dated January 15, 1981 and January 19, 1981, insofar as they require production of incident reports, are hereby quashed.
