EUGENE FRANCIS CLARKE et ux.,
Petitioners,
vs.
UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION, etc.,
Respondent.
[May 16, 2002]
PER CURIAM.
We initially accepted review of United Services Automobile Ass’n v. Clarke,
757 So. 2d 554 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000), based on apparent express and direct conflict
with several decisions of this Court as well as with another district court decision. 
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.  
WELLS, C.J., and SHAW, HARDING, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, LEWIS, and
QUINCE, JJ., concur.
