[January 25, 2001]
PER CURIAM.
We initially granted review in Snyder v. Bell, 746 So. 2d 1096 (Fla. 2d DCA
1999), on the basis of an alleged express and direct conflict with this Court’s
decision in Lohr v. Byrd, 522 So. 2d 845 (Fla. 1988), the Fifth District Court of
Appeal’s decision in United Pacific Insurance Co. v. Berryhill, 620 So. 2d 1077
(Fla. 5th DCA 1993), the Fourth District Court of Appeal’s decision in Vining v.
Martyn, 660 So. 2d 1081 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995), and the Third District Court of
-2-
Appeal’s decision in McArthur Dairy, Inc. v. Original Kielbs, Inc., 481 So. 2d 535
(Fla. 3d DCA 1986).  Upon further examination and review, however, we find that
jurisdiction was improvidently granted in this case.  Accordingly, we hereby
dismiss this case without further review of the matter.
It is so ordered.
