   PARIENTE, J.

We have for review the opinion in Potts v. State, 710 So.2d 1887 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), which certified conflict with the opinion in State v. Holland, 689 So.2d 1268 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. For the reasons expressed in our opinion in Hayes v. State, 750 So.2d 1 (Fla.1999), the decision of the Fifth District is hereby quashed. We remand to the district court for proceedings consistent with this opinion. It is so ordered.

HARDING, C.J., and SHAW, WELLS, ANSTEAD, LEWIS and QUINCE, JJ., concur.
