PER CURIAM. 
 
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review Florida Department of Highway 
Safety & Motor Vehicles v. Berne, 49 So. 3d 779 (Fla. 5th DCA 2010), review 
granted, 65 So. 3d 515 (Fla. 2011) (table), on the basis that the decision of the 
district court expressly and directly conflicts with a decision of this Court and the 
decision of another district court of appeal.  After further, full consideration, we 
have determined that we should exercise our discretion and discharge jurisdiction.  
Accordingly, we dismiss this case. 
It is so ordered.
