STATE of Florida, Petitioner, v. Alphonse GRIFFIN, Respondent.
    No. 67713.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    June 5, 1986.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen. and Kevin Kitpa-trick Carson, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for petitioner.
    James B. Gibson, Public Defender and James R. Wulchak, Chief, Appellate Div., Asst. Public Defender, Seventh Judicial Circuit, Daytona Beach, for respondent.
   OVERTON, Justice.

This is a petition to review Griffin v. State, 474 So.2d 1266 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985), which directly conflicts with our decision in State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla.1985). We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla.Const. We quash that portion of the district court’s opinion which states that Alphonse Griffin is entitled to be sentenced in accordance with the guidelines in effect at the time he committed the crimes. See Jackson. We approve the remainder of the decision.

It is so ordered.

BOYD, C.J., and ADKINS, McDONALD and BARKETT, JJ., concur.

EHRLICH, J., concurs specially with an opinion.

SHAW, J., dissents with an opinion.

EHRLICH, Justice,

concurring specially.

I concur because of this Court’s decision in State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla.1985), but I adhere to the views expressed in my dissent therein.

SHAW, Justice,

dissenting.

I dissent for the reasons set forth in Justice Ehrlich’s dissent to State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla.1985).
