Opinion

No. 93,289.

Opinion filed October 28, 1999.

Application for Review of the Decision of the District Court of Appeal — Statutory Validity Fourth District — Case No. 95-2252 (Palm Beach County).

Richard G. Bartmon of the Law Offices of Bartmon Bartmon, P.A., Boca Raton, Florida, for Petitioner.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; Celia A. Terenzio, Assistant Attorney General, Chief, West Palm Beach Bureau, and Melynda L. Melear, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, Florida, for Respondent.


We accepted jurisdiction to review Zile v. State, 710 So.2d 729 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998), as a decision of the district court that expressly declared a state statute valid or expressly construed a provision of the state or federal constitution. See Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. However, upon closer review, we find jurisdiction was improvidently granted. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.

It is so ordered.

HARDING, C.J., and SHAW, WELLS, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, LEWIS and QUINCE, JJ., concur.

NO MOTION FOR REHEARING WILL BE ALLOWED.
