Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Linda Judd appeals the adverse summary judgment in her whistle blower claim against her former employers, which was based on section 448.102(3), Florida Statutes (1995). Judd admits she did not provide written notice to her employer regarding the activities to which she objected but contends that written notice is not required by section 448.102(3). We affirm because this court has previously decided this issue contrary to Judd's position. See Potomac Sys. Eng'g, Inc. v. Deering, 683 So.2d 180 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996) (holding that statutory presuit notice requirement applies to claims brought under all three subsections of the act). We also recognize that our decision in Potomac conflicts with decisions from the Third and Fifth Districts, which have held that the written notice requirement applies only to claims brought under section 448.102(1). Jenkins v. Golf Channel, 714 So.2d 558 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), revietv granted, 728 So.2d 202 (Fla.1998); Baiton v. Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc., 661 So.2d 313 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995).
Accordingly, we affirm the summary judgment and certify conflict.
