Concurring Opinion

CANADY, J.,

concurring in result only.

The Court being equally divided regarding the disposition of this case, I concur in the decision to discharge jurisdiction. In my view, the Court should retain jurisdiction and quash the decision of the First District Court of Appeal.

QUINCE, C.J., concurs.
