[June 6, 2002]
PER CURIAM
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review a decision of the First District
Court of Appeal.  See art. V § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.  Subsequently, for purposes of
oral argument, we consolidated for review two cases that arose out of Florida
-2-
Department of Lottery v. GTECH Corp., 26 Fla. L. Weekly D621 (Fla. 1st DCA
Feb. 28, 2001), on motion for certification, 26 Fla. L. Weekly D1733 (Fla. 1st DCA
July 17, 2001), wherein the district court certified two questions to be of great
public importance.  Upon reflection, and further consideration, we now conclude
that review was improvidently granted.  Accordingly, this review proceeding is
dismissed.
It is so ordered.
WELLS, C.J., and SHAW, HARDING, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, LEWIS, and
