Opinion:
KELLY, Judge.
GEICO Indemnity Company, a nonparty to an automobile negligence action, seeks certiorari review of an order compelling production of its claim file. Mark Chmie-lewski, as court-appointed guardian for Matthew Martin, correctly concedes that the order departs from the essential requirements of law because GEICO was not properly served with a lawful subpoena in the manner prescribed by Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.351 (production of documents without deposition from a nonparty). Accordingly, we quash the order compelling production of the documents and remand for further proceedings.
Petition granted; order quashed; remanded.
NORTHCUTT and CRENSHAW, JJ., Concur.
