STATE OF FLORIDA, 
Petitioner, 
 
vs. 
 
DANIEL BROCCA, 
Respondent. 
 
[April 5, 2007] 
 
PER CURIAM. 
We have for review State v. Brocca, 842 So. 2d 291 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003), in 
which the Third District Court of Appeal cited State v. Hosty, 835 So. 2d 1202 
(Fla. 4th DCA 2003), rev’d, 944 So. 2d 255 (Fla. 2006), and certified the same 
question as was then pending review in this Court in Hosty.  We have jurisdiction.  
See art. V, § 3(b)(3)-(4), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So. 2d 418 (Fla. 1981). 
We have since reversed Hosty and answered a rephrased certified question 
in a manner contrary to the decision presently on review.  See State v. Hosty, 944 
So. 2d 255 (Fla. 2006).  We have thus determined and respondent does not contest 
that we should exercise our jurisdiction to grant the petition for review, quash the 
decision under review, and remand to the Third District Court for reconsideration 
upon application of this Court’s decision in Hosty. 
It is so ordered. 
LEWIS, C.J., and  WELLS, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, CANTERO, and BELL, JJ., 
concur. 
QUINCE, J., dissents.
