v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 99-0231.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

January 19, 2000.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Allen J. DeWeese, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sarah B. Mayer, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

*620 PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Rollinson v. State, 743 So.2d 585 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999); Simmons v. State, 755 So.2d 682 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999). We certify the same question certified in Simmons as one of great public importance:

STEVENSON, SHAHOOD and GROSS, JJ., concur.
