No response required for respondents.

PER CURIAM.

The petition for writ of mandamus is denied. Cohen v. Freeman, 914 So.2d 449 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005), does not precludе the triаl cоurt from сonducting an evidentiary hearing on the nature and extent of the settlement ‍​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​‍agreement and its terms. The opinion rejects Dr. Freeman's claim that he had the right to control the malpractice litigation.

SHAHOOD, GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
