                                  [April 28, 2016]

PER CURIAM.

      We initially accepted jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(3), of

the Florida Constitution, to review the decision in Stahl v. Hialeah Hospital, 160

So. 3d 519 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015), in which the First District Court of Appeal

declared certain provisions of chapter 440, Florida Statutes, to be valid. After

further consideration and hearing oral argument in this case, we have determined

that we should exercise our discretion and discharge jurisdiction. Accordingly, we

dismiss review.

      It is so ordered.

LABARGA, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON,
and PERRY, JJ., concur.
NO MOTION FOR REHEARING WILL BE ALLOWED.
