Respondent.

PER CURIAM. 
 
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review the decision of the First District 
Court of Appeal in McCoy v. State, 194 So. 3d 1058 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016), which 
was certified to be in direct conflict with the decision of the Fifth District Court of 
Appeal in Thomas v. State, 91 So. 3d 880 (Fla. 5th DCA 2012).  See art. V, 
§ 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.  Having considered the First District’s opinion and the briefs 
of the parties, upon further review, we have determined that we should exercise our 
discretion and discharge jurisdiction.  Accordingly, we hereby dismiss review. 
 
It is so ordered.
