(PER
CURIAM.) Petitioner, GEICO General Insurance Company (“GEICO”), seeks
certiorari review of an order compelling production of its claim files. We
grant certiorari and quash the trial court’s order overruling GEICO’s
objections, which were based upon claims of work- product and attorney-client
privilege. As the facts and issues are the same in this case as in Sedgwick
Claims Management Services, Inc., v. Feller, 163 So. 3d 1252 (Fla. 5th DCA
2015), we adopt the discussion and analysis set forth in Sedgwick.
