    Randall ARENDES, a minor, by and through Brian ARENDES, his father and next friend, and Stephen Arendes, a minor, by and through Brian Arendes, his father and next friend, and Brian Arendes, individually, Appellants, v. LEE COUNTY, Appellee.
    No. 2D04-3728.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    April 15, 2005.
    
      Marcy I. LaHart of Marcy I. LaHart, P.A., West Palm Beach, for Appellants.
    Jeffrey Lee Gordon of Maney & Gordon, P.A., Tampa, and Sonia S. Waisman and Natasha E. Fain of Morrison & Foerster LLP, Los Angeles, California, for Amicus Curiae, Animal Legal Defense Fund.
    Robert W. Gray, Lee County Attorney, and John S. Turner, Assistant County Attorney, Fort Myers, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The Appellants challenge the order dismissing several counts of their complaint against Lee County for the death of their dog. Because the order transfers the remaining claims to county court, we must treat the Appellants’ notice of appeal as a petition for writ of common law certiorari. See Rocco v. Coffey, 163 So.2d 21 (Fla. 2d DCA 1964); Kennedy v. Byas, 867 So.2d 1195 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004).

We deny the petition because the circuit court’s order does not depart from the essential requirements of law. See Ivey v. Allstate Ins. Co., 774 So.2d 679 (Fla.2000).

Petition denied.
