PER CURIAM.

Upon consideration, the petition for writ of certiorari is denied. See E. Air Lines v. Gellert, 431 So.2d 329 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983) (holding that records of payments made by client to their attorney do not implicate the attorneyclient or work-product privileges); Finol v. Finol, 869 So.2d 666 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004) (dismissing certiorari petition in which petitioner asserted his billing and payment records were protected by the attorney-client privilege and not subject to discovery; noting that the records sought were relevant and further noting that if the records contained descriptions of services rendered which would reveal the mental impressions and opinions of counsel, that information should be redacted as privileged); In re Slaughter, 694 F.2d 1258, 1260 (11th Cir. 1982) (observing that "matters involving the receipt of fees from a client are not generally privileged.")

Petition denied.
