STATE of Florida, Petitioner,
v.
Annie HESTER, Respondent.
No. 76404.

Supreme Court of Florida.
May 27, 1993.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Bradley R. Bischoff, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for petitioner.
Gene Reibman, Sp. Appointed Public Defender, Fort Lauderdale, for respondent.
PER CURIAM.
We review Hester v. State, 563 So. 2d 191, 193 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990), in which the district court of appeal certified the following question as one of great public importance:
We have jurisdiction under article V, section 3(b)(4) of the Florida Constitution.
A similar question was certified to this Court in State v. Jimeno, 550 So. 2d 1176 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989). We originally responded to the question in the negative. State v. Jimeno, 564 So. 2d 1083 (Fla. 1990), cert. granted, 498 U.S. 997, 111 S. Ct. 554, 112 L. Ed. 2d 561 (1990). However, our decision *1366 was reversed by the United States Supreme Court. Florida v. Jimeno, ___ U.S. ___, 111 S. Ct. 1801, 114 L. Ed. 2d 297 (1991). Upon remand, this Court quashed the decision of the district court of appeal that had affirmed the order suppressing the evidence, stating:
State v. Jimeno, 588 So. 2d 233, 233 (Fla. 1991).
It is evident that our disposition of Jimeno controls the instant case. Therefore, we quash the decision below and remand with directions to reinstate Hester's conviction for trafficking in cocaine.
It is so ordered.
OVERTON, McDONALD, SHAW, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur.
