FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, 
Petitioner, 
 
vs. 
 
CAUSEWAY VISTA, INC., 
Respondent. 
 
[December 7, 2006] 
 
PER CURIAM. 
 
The Florida Department of Transportation seeks review of the decision of 
the Second District Court of Appeal in Causeway Vista, Inc. v. State Department 
of Transportation, 918 So. 2d 352 (Fla. 2nd DCA 2005) on the ground that it 
expressly and directly conflicts with State Department of Transportation v. 
Denmark, 366 So. 2d 476 (Fla. 4th DCA 1979), on a question of law.  We accepted 
jurisdiction on that basis but upon further consideration, we have now determined 
that Causeway Vista and Denmark address different situations and are not in 
conflict.  Because there is no conflict, we exercise our discretion and discharge 
jurisdiction.  Accordingly, this review proceeding is hereby dismissed. 
 
It is so ordered.
