The court denied a petition for a writ of certiorari filed by Balas and Shumate, employees of a leisure spa operating as a house of prostitution, against Ruzzo and Exec., Inc. The petitioners sought to prevent discovery of their sexual history, arguing it would cause irreparable harm. The court ruled that while discovery under Fla. Stat. ch. 796.09 is limited to encourage lawsuits against pimps, the multi-count complaint filed by the petitioners allowed broader discovery. The court found no departure from the essential requirements of law in granting discovery.
