PER CURIAM.

      We initially accepted jurisdiction to review the decision of the Fourth

District Court of Appeal in Prepared Ins. Co. v. Gal, 209 So. 3d 14 (Fla. 4th DCA

2016), on grounds of express and direct conflict with Trinidad v. Fla. Peninsula

Ins. Co., 121 So. 3d 433 (Fla. 2013), and also with Colon v. Lara, 389 So. 2d 1070

(Fla. 3d DCA 1980). See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. Having considered the

Fourth District’s opinion and the briefs of the parties, upon further review, we have

determined that we should exercise our discretion and discharge jurisdiction.

Accordingly, we hereby dismiss review.
      It is so ordered.

LABARGA, C.J., and PARIENTE, QUINCE, POLSTON, and LAWSON, JJ.,
concur.
CANADY, J., concurs in result.
LEWIS, J., dissents.
