STATE OF FLORIDA,  
Petitioner, 
 
vs. 
 
TROY MCJIMSEY,  
Respondent. 
 
[January 15, 2009] 
 
LEWIS, J. 
We have for review McJimsey v. State, 959 So. 2d 1257 (Fla. 4th DCA 
2007), which expressly and directly conflicts with the Third District Court of 
Appeal’s decision in Martinez v. State, 933 So. 2d 1155 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006), 
approved, 981 So. 2d 449 (Fla. 2008). We have jurisdiction.  See art. V, § 3(b)(3), 
Fla. Const.   
We stayed proceedings in this case pending our disposition of Martinez.   
When our decision in Martinez became final, we issued an order directing 
respondent to show cause why we should not exercise jurisdiction, quash the 
McJimsey decision, and remand for reconsideration in light of our decision in 
 
- 2 -
Martinez.  Upon consideration of the responses of the parties, along with the 
parties’ previously filed jurisdictional briefs, we have determined to accept 
jurisdiction.    
    
We accordingly grant the petition for review in the present case.  The 
decision under review is quashed, and this matter is remanded to the Fourth 
District Court of Appeal for reconsideration upon application of this Court’s 
decision in Martinez. 
 
It is so ordered. 
QUINCE, C.J., WELLS, PARIENTE, CANADY, and POLSTON, JJ., and 
ANSTEAD, Senior Justice, concur. 
 
NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION, AND 
IF FILED, DETERMINED.
