STATE OF FLORIDA, 
Respondent. 
 
[November 1, 2012] 
 
PER CURIAM. 
 
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review the decision of the Fourth 
District Court of Appeal in Monte v. State, 51 So. 3d 1196 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011), 
pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(3), of the Florida Constitution.  See Monte v. 
State, 68 So. 3d 235 (Fla. 2011) (table).  Upon further consideration, we conclude 
that jurisdiction was improvidently granted.  Accordingly, we hereby discharge 
jurisdiction and dismiss this review proceeding. 
 
It is so ordered.
