Steadman v. State
Supreme Court of Florida · Decided July 9, 2009 · Quince, Pariente, Lewis, Canady, Polston, Labarga, Perry
14 So. 3d 218; 34 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 430; 2009 Fla. LEXIS 1018; 2009 WL 1955437 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Steadman v. State

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We have for review Steadman v. State, 997 So.2d 417 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008) (table), in which the Second District Court of Appeal cited as authority its decision in Gisi v. State, 948 So.2d 816 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007), quashed, 4 So.3d 613 (Fla. 2009). At the time the Second District issued its Stead-man decision, Gisi was pending review in this Court. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So.2d 418 (Fla. 1981).

We stayed proceedings in this case pending our disposition of State v. Rabedeau, 2 So.3d 191 (Fla. 2009) (disapproving the Second District’s Gisi decision), and Gisi v. State, 4 So.3d 613 (Fla. 2009) (quashing the Second District’s Gisi decision). We then issued an order directing respondent in the present ease to show cause why we should not accept jurisdiction, quash the Second District’s underlying Steadman decision and remand for reconsideration in light of our decisions in Rabedeau and Gisi. Upon considering respondent’s response, and petitioner’s reply thereto, we have determined to so proceed.

We accordingly accept jurisdiction and grant the petition for review in the present case. The decision under review is quashed, and this matter is remanded to the Second District for reconsideration upon application of this Court’s decisions in Rabedeau and Gisi

It is so ordered.

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