CORRECTED OPINION 
 
 
PER CURIAM. 
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review the decision of the First District 
Court of Appeal in Martin County Conservation Alliance v. Martin County, 73 So. 
3d 856 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011), based on express and direct conflict.  See art. V, § 
3(b)(3), Fla. Const.  After further consideration, we have determined that 
jurisdiction was improvidently granted.  Accordingly, we hereby dismiss this 
review proceeding. 
It is so ordered.
