AGENCY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES, 
Respondent. 
 
[November 16, 2006] 
 
PER CURIAM. 
 
We have for review Agency for Persons with Disabilities v. R.N., 917 So. 2d 
199 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005) (table), in which the Third District Court of Appeal 
prohibited a juvenile court judge from requiring the appearance of an executive 
agency officer regarding a matter within the jurisdiction of that court.  We have 
jurisdiction.  See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. (providing that this Court "[m]ay 
review any decision of a district court of appeal that . . . expressly affects a class of 
constitutional or state officers").   
We recently addressed and resolved this issue to the contrary by unpublished 
order issued June 30, 2006, see F.G. v. Agency for Persons with Disabilities, 935 
So. 2d 499 (Fla. 2006) (table), later explained by published opinion 
issued September 28, 2006.  See F.G. v. Agency for Persons with Disabilities, 31 
Fla. L. Weekly S610 (Fla. Sept. 28, 2006).  We thus issued an order in the interim 
on July 5, 2006, directing the respondent in the present case to show cause why 
this Court should not accept jurisdiction and summarily quash the decision being 
reviewed in light of our decision in F.G.  Upon consideration of the respondent's 
response, and the petitioners' replies thereto, the Court has determined that it 
should do just that.  
We accordingly grant the petition for review in the present case.  The 
decision under review is quashed and this matter is remanded to the Third District 
Court of Appeal for reconsideration upon application of this Court's decision in 
F.G.
It is so ordered.
