Opinion:
ON RESPONDENTS' MOTION FOR APPELLATE ATTORNEY'S ⅝' . ' FEES
PER CURIAM;
Geico General Insurance Company filed a petition for writ of certiorari challenging ah order requiring it to produce documents. Without ordering k response under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.100(h), this court denied the petition on August 18, 2015; Geico moved for rehearing and, on September 28, 2015, the respondents filed a response to that motion and also moved for attorney's fees.
Rule 9.400(b)(2) provid.es that "in original proceedings" a motion for attorney's fees "shall be served not later than . the time for service of the petitioner's reply to the response to the petition." Here, the court denied the petition without requiring a response to the petition or, obyiously, a reply to a response. Having been first filed after the petition had been denied, the motion for appellate attorney's fees is denied as untimely. .
CIKLIN, C. J., GROSS and LEVINE, JJ., concur.
