Head Matter:
PHILLIP MORRIS, INC., et al., Appellants, v. Cindy WILLIAMS, Appellee.
No. 3D03-1593.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Greenberg Traurig and David L. Ross and Elliot H. Scherker, Miami, for appellants.
Hunter, Williams Lynch and Steve Hunter, for appellee.
Before GREEN, FLETCHER, and RAMIREZ, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
If a rule of procedure allows for or provides a method of obtaining information, and a party's attorney follows that rule in seeking such information, such conduct is not, per se, sanctionable. The trial court's "order awarding plaintiffs attorney's fees" to Cindy Williams is reversed.
Reversed.
