Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We initially accepted discretionary review of the decision in Garrett v. State, 148 So.3d 466 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014). Upon further consideration, we exercise our discretion and discharge jurisdiction. Accordingly, we hereby dismiss this review proceeding,

It is so ordered.

LABARGA, C.J., and LEWIS, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur. PARIENTE, J., dissents with an opinion, in which QUINCE, J., concurs.

Dissenting Opinion

PARIENTE, J,,

dissenting,

I would not discharge jurisdiction because there is conflict with Dorsey v. State, 149 So.3d 144 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014) and Rios v. State, 143 So.3d 1167 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014). Instead, I would resolve the conflict and hold that the jury instruction given on justifiable use of deadly force was fundamentally erroneous, and because ineffectiveness of counsel appears on the face of the record, I would quash the decision in Garrett v. State, 148 So.3d 466 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014), consistent with the approach of the Second District in Dooley v. State, — So.3d-, 41 Fla. L. Weekly D992, 2016 WL 1602968 (Fla. 2d DCA Apr. 22, 2016).

QUINCE, J., concurs.
