WENTWORTH, Judge.
Leon County petitions for a writ of certiorari, seeking review of an order awarding an attorney's fee in excess of the statutory fee schedule for representation of an indigent criminal defendant. We find that the extraordinary circumstances of this case warrant a departure from the fee schedule, but that the amount awarded is excessive. We therefore grant certiorari and quash the challenged order as to the amount of the fee.
