PERRY, J.

      We initially accepted review of the decisions in Overholt v. State, 
110 So. 3d
530 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013), and Oliver v. State, 
125 So. 3d 244
(Fla. 4th DCA

2013), based on direct and express conflict. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. In

light of the State’s suggestion of mootness, we dismiss review of the decision

in Overholt as moot. Additionally, upon further consideration, we conclude that
jurisdiction was improvidently granted in Oliver. Accordingly, we discharge

jurisdiction and dismiss this review proceeding.

      It is so ordered.

POLSTON, C.J., and PARIENTE, CANADY, and LABARGA, JJ., concur.
LEWIS and QUINCE, JJ., dissent.

NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION, AND
