CITIZENS PROPERTY INSURANCE CORPORATION, 
Petitioner, 
 
vs. 
 
JON ALLEN DANCY, 
Respondent. 
 
[March 27, 2008] 
 
PER CURIAM. 
 
We have for review Citizens Property Insurance Corp. v. Dancy, 963 So. 2d 
271 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007), in which the First District Court of Appeal cited as 
authority its decision in Florida Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Co. v. Cox, 943 
So. 2d 823 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006), quashed, 967 So. 2d 815 (Fla. 2007).  At the time 
the First District issued its decision in Dancy, Cox 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 ultimately quashed the First District’s underlying Cox decision.  See Fla. 
Farm Bureau Cas. Ins. Co. v. Cox, 967 So. 2d 815 (Fla. 2007).  We accordingly 
issued an order directing respondent to show cause why this Court should not 
accept jurisdiction in the present case, quash the Dancy decision under review, and 
remand for reconsideration in light of our decision in Cox.  Upon consideration of 
respondent’s response and petitioner’s reply thereto, we have determined to so 
proceed. 
We thus 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 Cox.  Respondent’s 
pending motion for appellate attorney fees is hereby denied. 
It is so ordered.
