PER CURIAM. 
 
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review Powers v. Thobhani, 903 So. 2d 
275 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005), a decision which the district court of appeal certified to 
be in direct conflict with decisions of two other district courts pursuant to article V, 
section 3(b)(4) of the Florida Constitution.  Upon further consideration, we have 
determined that there is no actual conflict and that we should exercise our

discretion and discharge jurisdiction of this cause.  Accordingly, this review 
proceeding is hereby dismissed. 
 
It is so ordered.
