    TRIPLE FISH AMERICA, INC., Team Fish America, Inc., and Kenneth A. Smith & Associates, Inc., et. al., Petitioners, v. TRIPLE FISH INTERNATIONAL, L.C., and Mylon Slonek GMBH & Co. KG, Respondents.
    No. 5D02-3008.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    March 14, 2003.
    
      Mark S. Reisinger of Railey & Harding, Orlando, for Petitioners.
    H. Clay Parker of Parker & Associates, P.A., Orlando, for Respondents.
   PER CURIAM.

Petitioners seek certiorari review of the trial court’s order granting appellee Dietmar Slonek’s motion for protective order and requiring petitioners to travel to Germany to take Slonek’s deposition. Concluding that the trial court properly granted Slonek’s motion for protective order, we deny the petition.

Petitioners, defendants below, filed their notice of taking the deposition of Dietmar Slonek, a resident of Germany, and requested his appearance in Orlando, Florida for that purpose. Slonek filed a motion for protective order alleging, among other things, that: 1) he is a citizen of Germany and resides in Germany; 2) he is not a party to the action; and 3) requiring him to travel to Orlando would constitute an undue burden and expense. The trial court granted the motion for protective order. Petitioners challenge this ruling arguing that Slonek’s request for a protective order should have been denied because Slonek was either a current or former officer of the plaintiff corporations.

Normally, officers of a plaintiff corporation are required to attend a properly noticed deposition in the forum where the action is pending. See Ormond Beach First Nat’l Bank v. J.M. Montgomery Roofing Co., 189 So.2d 239 (Fla. 1st DCA 1966), cert. denied, 200 So.2d 813 (Fla.1967). Here, however, petitioners failed to designate Slonek as a corporate officer by either noticing the deposition of a corporation through Slonek, or identifying Slonek in the notice of taking deposition as an officer, director, or managing agent of either of the plaintiff corporations. Having failed to do so, neither of the plaintiff corporations filed a motion for protective order directed to the deposition; only Slo-nek in his individual capacity filed such a motion. On this record, it was not error for the trial court to grant Slonek’s motion for protective order. Accordingly, the petition for certiorari is denied, without prejudice to petitioners properly noticing a deposition of a party plaintiff.

PETITION DENIED.
