No. 77196.

Supreme Court of Florida.
June 13, 1991.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Peggy A. Quince and Katherine V. Blanco, Asst. Attys. Gen., Tampa, for petitioner.

PER CURIAM.
We review Robinson v. State, 571 So. 2d 120 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990), in which the district court affirmed Robinson's conviction and sentence for sale of cocaine, but vacated Robinson's conviction and sentence for possession of cocaine on the authority of V.A.A. v. State, 561 So. 2d 314 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990), approved in part, quashed in part, 577 So. 2d 941 (Fla. 1991). The district court certified the following to be a question of great public importance:[*]
Robinson, 571 So. 2d  at 120.
We answered that question in the negative in State v. McCloud, 577 So. 2d 939 (Fla. 1991), and on that authority, we quash that part of the district court's decision vacating Robinson's conviction and sentence for possession of cocaine. We remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.
*158 SHAW, C.J. and OVERTON, McDONALD, BARKETT, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur.
[*]  We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(4) of the Florida Constitution.
