We initially accepted jurisdiction to review the decision of the Fourth

based on express and direct conflict.  See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.  Upon 
further consideration, we have determined that jurisdiction was improvidently 
granted.  Accordingly, we hereby discharge jurisdiction and dismiss this review 
proceeding. 
 
It is so ordered.
