Head Matter:
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Petitioner, v. Barry BERGMAN, Respondent.
No. 5D04-2257.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Order Denying Rehearing Jan. 14, 2005.
Sara K. Cunningham, Assistant General Counsel, Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Petitioner.
Barry Bergman, Palm Bay, pro se.

Opinion:
PLEUS, J.
The Department of Corrections seeks certiorari review of an order of the circuit court requiring it to pay for a deaf interpreter to assist respondent Barry Bergman, who is hearing impaired, during his court ordered sex offender probation. The Department argues that there is no statutory authority to require it to pay for the accommodation. Instead, the Department argues that under the Americans with Disabilities Act the sex offender treatment provider, Family Alliance, should pay for the accommodation.
The Department is seeking review of a ruling set forth in court minutes. In State v. Wagner, 863 So.2d 1224 (Fla.2004), the Florida Supreme Court held that for the purpose of determining when certiorari review must be filed under rule 9.100(c)(1), Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, a court minutes form, even if signed by a judge, does not constitute a reviewable order and the act of filing the minutes does not amount to rendition. Therefore, there is no reviewable order in this case.
The petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See State v. Wagner, 863 So.2d 1224 (Fla.2004).
DISMISSED.
SAWAYA, C.J., and PETERSON, J., concur.
