No. SC18-1171
____________
JULIANNE M. HOLT, etc.,
Petitioner,
vs.
MICHAEL EDWARD KEETLEY, et al.,
Respondents.
September 5, 2019
PER CURIAM.
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review Holt v. Keetley, 250 So. 3d 206
(Fla. 2d DCA 2018), based on express and direct conflict with a decision of
another district court of appeal and on the ground that the decision expressly
affects a class of constitutional officers. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.
Upon further consideration, we conclude that this matter is moot, and we
exercise our discretion and discharge jurisdiction. Accordingly, this review
proceeding is hereby dismissed.
It is so ordered.
CANADY, C.J., and POLSTON, LABARGA, LAWSON, LAGOA, LUCK, and
MUÑIZ, JJ., concur.
NO MOTION FOR REHEARING WILL BE ALLOWED.
