Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the judgment below on the authority of Eastern Air Lines, Inc. v. Gellert, 438 So.2d 923 (Fla.3d DCA 1983) which specifically approved the method used in this case for selection of the jury panel. We hereby certify to the Supreme Court of Florida that this decision passes upon a question of great public importance:
May a trial court require the parties to exercise all of their peremptory challenges simultaneously in writing where the original panel has been thoroughly examined and challenges for cause exercised, and there remain sufficient members to comprise a jury after all peremptory challenges have been exhausted?
Affirmed; question certified.
