   WELLS, Justice.

We have for review Hamilton v. State, 695 So.2d 436 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997), which certified the same question of great public importance answered by this Court in Paccione v. State, 698 So.2d 252 (Fla.1997). We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. We quash the decision below and remand for proceedings consistent with our opinion in Paccione.

It is so ordered.

KOGAN, C.J., and OVERTON, SHAW, GRIMES, HARDING and ANSTEAD, JJ., concur.
