Before ROTHENBERG, C.J., and LAGOA and LOGUE, JJ.
      LOGUE, J.

      In these three cases, which we consolidate, C.H.-C., a juvenile, has filed a

petition for writ of certiorari, he and his siblings have filed an appeal, and his

mother has filed a separate appeal, challenging an order entered by the trial court

which they characterize as allowing a newspaper to have access to confidential

court records. Because the court has not yet entered an order granting access to the

records at issue—the order under review merely establishes a procedure for an in-

camera review of proposed redactions—we dismiss the petition and the appeals for

lack of jurisdiction.

      C.H.-C, his siblings, and their parents are the subjects of dependency

proceedings filed by the Florida Department of Children and Families. The Miami

Herald and one of its reporters noted for her reporting of child welfare matters,

Carol Marbin Miller, moved to intervene in the proceedings and obtain an audio

recording or transcript of a January 17, 2018 judicial review hearing. Rule 2.420 of

the Florida Rules of Judicial Administration requires public access to most court

records but protects the confidentiality of certain court records including “Chapter

39 records relating to dependency matters.” Chapter 39 courtroom proceedings are

open to the public but court records in Chapter 39 proceedings are not accessible to

the public except “upon order of the court by persons deemed by the court to have

a proper interest therein.” § 39.0132(3), Fla. Stat (2017).


                                          2
         In the order under review, the trial court held the Miami Herald and the

reporter “have standing to intervene for the purpose of obtaining access to the

transcript and/or recording of the January 17, 2018 hearing and they are persons

whom the Court deems to have proper interest in the records at issue.” The order

provides for an in-camera inspection of the transcript. In pertinent part, the order

reads:

               2. In light of the circumstances in which this issue has
                  arisen, and in an abundance of caution, this Court has
                  directed that a transcript of the January 17 hearing be
                  circulated to permit any of the parties, including the
                  Attorney ad Litem, to ask the Court to redact portions
                  of the transcript prior to providing it to Movants.

               3. Without objection from the parties, the Court will
                  permit Mr. Bohrer, counsel for Movants, to respond
                  to any proposed redactions, which process will be
                  conducted in camera. In consideration for being
                  permitted to participate in this process, Mr. Bohrer
                  shall not disclose anything learned during this in
                  camera process to Movants.

         As the language indicates, although the order states it is “granting” the

motion, it does not actually grant the Herald or its reporter access to the transcript

as requested in the motion. Instead, it establishes a procedure for a review of

further objections in an in-camera proceeding. Any order granting access will be

entered, if at all, only after the in-camera hearing. Although the order holds the

Herald and the reporter have standing and are deemed to have a proper interest,


                                          3
this holding itself is non-final and can be changed by the trial judge before it

actually grants access.

      We therefore lack jurisdiction to hear the appeals of this order because it is

non-final and is not one of the enumerated non-final orders that are subject to

interlocutory appeal. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.130(a)(3). We also lack jurisdiction to

issue a writ of certiorari regarding this order because it does not actually grant

access to records of the judicial branch and it presents no irreparable harm that

cannot be corrected by appeal or petition for certiorari when and if the trial court

grants the Herald and its reporter access. See, e.g., Damsky v. Univ. of Miami,

, 792 (Fla. 3d DCA 2014) (“Unless the petitioner establishes

irreparable harm, the court must dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction.”); see

also Fla. R. App. P. 9.100(d)(1).

      Dismissed.
