    Petitioner,

    v.

PROGRESSIVE AMERICAN
INSURANCE COMPANY,

    Respondent.
                  _____________________________

Petition for Writ of Certiorari.

                          August 21, 2019

PER CURIAM.

     DISMISSED. See Progressive Express Ins. Co. v. Neurology
Partners, P.A., 43 Fla. L. Weekly D1985, 2018 WL 4042461 (Fla.
1st DCA Aug. 24, 2018) (dismissing petition and citing cases
stating that (1) even if circuit court appellate decision is
erroneous in its conclusion, if it is made “according to the forms of
law and the rules prescribed for rendering it,” certiorari is
inapplicable; and (2) a second-tier certiorari denial does not mean
this Court approves of the underlying decision); see also State
Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. CC Chiropractic, LLC, 245 So. 3d
755, 760 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018) (explaining it is the county court’s
prerogative to certify questions to the district court, and second-
tier certiorari is not appropriate “simply to provide precedent
where precedent is needed”; such need is not a miscarriage of
justice) (quoting Stilson v. Allstate Ins. Co., 692 So. 2d 979, 983
(Fla. 2d DCA 1997)).

ROBERTS, KELSEY, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.

                 _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
