LEWIS, J.

      We have for review State v. Glasco, 90 So. 3d 905 (Fla. 5th DCA 2012), in

which the Fifth District Court of Appeal reversed the trial court’s order granting a

motion to suppress evidence found on a cellular phone without a search warrant.

The Fifth District, in following the First District Court of Appeal and relying on

Smallwood v. State, 61 So. 3d 448 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011), quashed, 113 So. 3d 724

(Fla. 2013), certified the following question as one of great public importance:

      DOES THE HOLDING IN UNITED STATES V. ROBINSON, [414
      U.S. 218 (1973)], ALLOW A POLICE OFFICER TO SEARCH
      THROUGH INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN A CELL
      PHONE THAT IS ON AN ARRESTEE’S PERSON AT THE TIME
      OF A VALID ARREST?

Glasco, 90 So. 3d at 908-09. At the time that the Fifth District issued its decision

in Glasco, Smallwood was pending in this Court. We have jurisdiction. See art.

V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.

      We stayed proceedings in this case pending the disposition of Smallwood v.

State, 113 So. 3d 724, 741 (Fla. 2013), in which we ultimately quashed the First

District’s underlying Smallwood decision. We then issued an order directing

Respondent to show cause why this Court should not accept jurisdiction,

summarily quash the Fifth District’s decision in Glasco, and remand for

reconsideration in light of our decision in Smallwood. Respondent filed a response

conceding that “this case should be remanded for reconsideration in light of this

Court’s recent decision in Smallwood v. State.” Petitioner did not file a reply.

      Upon consideration of the response, we grant the petition for review, quash

the Fifth District’s decision in Glasco, and remand this case to the Fifth District for

further proceedings consistent with this Court’s decision in Smallwood.

      It is so ordered.

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

NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION, AND
IF FILED, DETERMINED.
