DAVID FAMIGLIETTI,
Petitioner,
vs.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent.
[January 23, 2003]
PER CURIAM.
We originally accepted review of State v. Famiglietti, 817 So. 2d 901 (Fla. 3d
DCA 2002), in which the Third District Court of Appeal certified direct conflict
with the Fourth District Court of Appeal's decision in State v. Pinder, 678 So. 2d
410 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996), pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(4) of the Florida
Constitution.  Upon closer examination, however, we find that jurisdiction was
improvidently granted in this case.  Therefore, we dismiss review of this cause.
It is so ordered.
