Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review the decision of the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Palms West Hospital Ltd. Partnership v. Burns, 83 So.3d 785 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011), based on express and direct conflict with Integrated Health Care Services, Inc. v. Lang-Redway, 840 So.2d 974 (Fla.2002), Joseph v. University Behavioral LLC, 71 So.3d 913 (Fla. 5th DCA 2011), Fassy v. Crowley, 884 So.2d 359 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004), Lake Shore Hospital, Inc. v. Clarke, 768 So.2d 1251 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000), Lynn v. Mount Sinai Medical Center, Inc., 692 So.2d 1002 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997), and Liles v. P.I.A. Medfield, Inc., 681 So.2d 711 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995). See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Burns v. Palms W. Hosp., No. SC12-1387, 2013 WL 6978501 (Fla. order entered June 3, 2013). However, upon further consideration, we have determined that we should exercise our discretion to discharge jurisdiction in this cause.

It is so ordered.
