William James KING, Petitioner,
v.
STATE of Florida, Respondent.
No. 48091.

Supreme Court of Florida.
October 7, 1976.
Richard W. Ervin, III, Public Defender, for petitioner.
Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Raymond L. Marky, Asst. Atty. Gen., for respondent.
PER CURIAM.
We have granted certiorari without oral argument in this case because of conflict between the opinion of the District Court of Appeal, First District, reported at 317 So. 2d 852, and Edwards v. State, 223 So. 2d 746 (Fla.3d DCA 1969). We have jurisdiction under Article V, Section 3(b)(3), Florida Constitution.
After examining the briefs submitted by the parties to this cause, we conclude that there is a conflict in decision. Upon review of the authorities and reasoning relied on by the First and Third District Courts of Appeal in reaching the inconsistent results demonstrated by the two opinions, we are persuaded to the conclusion reached by the First District Court of Appeal. Accordingly, we adopt in its entirety the relevant portion of the opinion filed by the District Court of Appeal, First District:
"RAWLS and McCORD, JJ., concur."
It is so ordered.
OVERTON, C.J., and ROBERTS, ADKINS, BOYD, ENGLAND, SUNDBERG and HATCHETT, JJ., concur.
