PER CURIAM.   
We have on appeal Klein v. Robbins, 873 So. 2d 593 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004), in 
which the Third District Court of Appeal cited as controlling authority its decision 
in Sunset Harbour North Condominium Ass’n v. Robbins, 837 So. 2d 1181 (Fla. 
3d DCA 2003) (declaring unconstitutional section 192.042, Florida Statutes 
(1997)), rev’d, 914 So. 2d 925 (Fla. 2005).   At the time the Third District Court of 
Appeal issued its decision in Klein, Sunset Harbour was pending review in this 
Court.  We have jurisdiction.  See art. V, § 3(b)(1); see also Smith v. Welton, 729 
So. 2d 371 (Fla. 1999).
