DENISE C. SHARON, 
Petitioner, 
 
vs. 
 
C. WILLIAM SHARON, 
Respondent. 
 
[January 17, 2008] 
 
PER CURIAM. 
 
We have for review Sharon v. Sharon, 915 So. 2d 630 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005), 
in which the Second District Court of Appeal cited as authority its decision in 
Nicoletti v. Nicoletti, 902 So. 2d 215 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005), disapproved by 
Montello v. Montello, 961 So. 2d 257 (Fla. 2007), and review dismissed, No. 
SC05-949 (Fla. Oct. 23, 2007).  At the time that the Second District Court issued 
its decision in Sharon, its Nicoletti decision was pending review in this Court.  We 
have jurisdiction.  See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So. 2d 418 
(Fla. 1981). 
We stayed the present case pending our disposition of Montello v. Montello, 
961 So. 2d 257 (Fla. 2007), in which we ultimately disapproved the Second 
District Nicoletti decision.  Petitioner thereafter filed a motion for summary relief 
pursuant to our decision in Montello.  Upon consideration of petitioner’s motion, 
respondent’s opposing response thereto, and the parties’ previously filed 
jurisdictional briefs, we hereby grant petitioner’s motion for summary relief. 
We accordingly grant the petition for review in the present case.  The 
decision under review is quashed, and this matter is remanded to the Second 
District for reconsideration upon application of this Court’s decision in Montello. 
 
It is so ordered.
