STATE OF FLORIDA, 
Petitioner, 
 
vs. 
 
REGINALD ALEXANDER GREEN, 
Respondent. 
 
[September 25, 2008] 
 
PER CURIAM. 
 
We have for review Green v. State, 32 Fla. L. Weekly D1213 (Fla. 1st DCA 
May 8, 2007), in which the First District Court of Appeal acknowledged (but did 
not certify) conflict with the Fourth District’s decision in Garzon v. State, 939 So. 
2d 278 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006), approved, 980 So. 2d 1038 (Fla. 2008).  At the time 
the First District issued its decision in Green, Garzon was pending review in this 
Court.  We have jurisdiction.  See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 
So. 2d 418 (Fla. 1981). 
 
We stayed the proceedings in this case pending disposition of Garzon, in 
which we ultimately approved the Fourth District’s underlying Garzon decision.  
See Garzon v. State, 980 So. 2d 1038 (Fla. 2008).  We thereafter issued an order in 
this case, directing respondent to show cause why we should not accept 
jurisdiction, summarily quash the decision being reviewed, and remand for 
reconsideration in light of our decision in Garzon.  Respondent concedes in his 
response that we should so proceed, and in its reply, petitioner agrees. 
 
Accordingly, we grant the petition for review in the present case.  The 
decision under review is quashed, and this matter is remanded to the First District 
Court of Appeal for reconsideration upon application of this Court’s decision in 
Garzon. 
 
It is so ordered. 
QUINCE, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, LEWIS, and BELL, JJ., 
concur. 
 
NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION, AND
