Concurring Opinion

EHRLICH, Justice,

concurring specially.

I concur because of this Court’s decision in State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985), but I adhere to the views expressed in my dissent therein.

Dissenting Opinion

SHAW, Justice,

dissenting.

I dissent for the reasons set forth in Justice Ehrlich’s dissent to State v. Jackson, 478 So.3d 1054, 1057 (Fla. 1985).

Opinion of the Court

OVERTON, Justice.

This is a petition to review Beggs v. State, 473 So.2d 9 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985), which directly conflicts with our decision in State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985).* We quash the decision of the district court and remand with directions to apply Jackson.

It is so ordered.

BOYD, C.J., and ADKINS, McDONALD and BARKETT, JJ., concur. EHRLICH, J., concurs specially with an opinion. SHAW, J., dissents with an opinion.

We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.
