PER CURIAM. 
 
We initially accepted jurisdiction of the Fifth District Court of Appeal’s 
decision in Whistler’s Park, Inc. v. Florida Insurance Guaranty Ass’n, 90 So. 3d 
841 (Fla. 5th DCA 2012), on the ground that it expressly and directly conflicts 
with decisions of other district courts of appeal and of this Court:  Southern Home 
Insurance Co. v. Putnal, 49 So. 922 (Fla. 1909); Gonzalez v. State Farm Florida 
Insurance Co., 65 So. 3d 608 (Fla. 3d DCA 2011); Edwards v. State Farm Florida 
Insurance Co., 64 So. 3d 730 (Fla. 3d DCA 2011); Amica Mutual Insurance Co. v. 
Drummond, 970 So. 2d 456 (Fla. 2007); Goldman v. State Farm Fire General 
Insurance Co., 660 So. 2d 300 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995); and Stringer v. Fireman’s 
Fund Insurance Co., 622 So. 2d 145 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993).  See art. V, § 3(b)(3), 
Fla. Const.   
Upon further consideration, we have determined that we should exercise our 
discretion and discharge jurisdiction.  Accordingly, we hereby discharge 
jurisdiction and dismiss review. 
It is so ordered.
