PER CURIAM. The petitioners seek a writ of certiorari to quash the circuit court's orders compelling them to provide discovery to the respondents and establishing the respondents' entitlement to attorney's fees as sanctions under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.380(a)(4). We deny the petition to the extent it concerns the order compelling discovery. We dismiss the petition as it relates to entitlement to attorney's fees.
