Raydel B. RODRIGUEZ, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    No. SC09-116.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    May 10, 2012.
    George T. Pallas, Miami, FL, for Petitioner.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General; Richard L. Polin, Chief Assistant Attorney General; and Timothy Rhys Morgan Thomas, Assistant Attorney General, Miami, FL, for Respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

We have for review State v. Rodriguez, 997 So.2d 1210 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008), in which the Third District Court of Appeal cited as authority its decision in State v. Jardines, 9 So.3d 1 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008), quashed, 73 So.3d 34 (Fla.2011), cert. granted in part, — U.S.-, 132 S.Ct. 995, 181 L.Ed.2d 726 (2012). At the time the Third District issued its Rodriguez decision, Jardines was pending review in this Court. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So.2d 418 (Fla.1981).

We stayed proceedings in this case pending our disposition of Jardines v. State, 73 So.3d 34 (Fla.2011), cert. granted in part, — U.S.-, 132 S.Ct. 995, 181 L.Ed.2d 726 (2012), in which we ultimately quashed the Third District’s underlying Jardines decision. We then issued an order directing respondent in the present case to show cause why we should not accept jurisdiction, quash the Third District’s underlying Rodriguez decision, and remand for reconsideration in light of our decision in Jardines.

Upon consideration of the response and petitioner’s reply thereto, we have determined to accept jurisdiction and grant the petition for review in the present case. The decision under review is quashed and this matter is remanded to the Third District for reconsideration upon application of this Court’s Jardines decision.

It is so ordered.
