PER CURIAM
We have for review Valenzuela v. State, 764 So. 2d 777, 777 (Fla. 1st DCA
2000), a per curiam decision of the First District Court of Appeal citing as
controlling authority the Third District Court of Appeal's decision in Bover v. State,
732 So. 2d 1187 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999), quashed, 26 Fla. L. Weekly S652 (Fla. Oct.
4, 2001).  We have jurisdiction.  See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State,
405 So. 2d 418, 420 (Fla. 1981).
In accordance with our opinion in Bover v. State, 26 Fla. L. Weekly S652
-2-
(Fla. Oct. 4, 2001), we quash the First District's decision and remand this case to
the First District for consideration in light of our recent decisions in Bover and
Carter v. State, 786 So. 2d 1173, 1180-81 (Fla. 2001).  In remanding this case, we
express no opinion as to the merits of Valenzuela's rule 3.800(a) claim.
It is so ordered.
