We have for review State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Grove,
730 So. 2d 428 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999), in which the Fifth District Court of Appeal
cited as controlling authority Cimino v. U.S. Security Insurance Co., 715 So. 2d
1092 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998), approved, 754 So. 2d 697 (Fla. 2000), which was then
pending on review in this Court.  We have jurisdiction.  See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla.
Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So. 2d 418, 420 (Fla. 1981).  Based on our decision in
U.S. Security Insurance Co. v. Cimino, 754 So. 2d 697 (Fla. 2000), we approve

the Fifth District’s decision.
It is so ordered.
