vs.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent.
[June 8, 2017]
PER CURIAM.
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review the decision of the First District
Court of Appeal in McCoy v. State, 194 So. 3d 1058 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016), which
was certified to be in direct conflict with the decision of the Fifth District Court of
Appeal in Thomas v. State, 91 So. 3d 880 (Fla. 5th DCA 2012). See art. V,
§ 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. Having considered the First District’s opinion and the briefs
of the parties, upon further review, we have determined that we should exercise our
discretion and discharge jurisdiction. Accordingly, we hereby dismiss review.
It is so ordered.
LABARGA, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON,
and LAWSON, JJ., concur.
NO MOTION FOR REHEARING WILL BE ALLOWED.
