WILLIAM D. CHAMBERS, APPELLANT,
v.
FLORIDA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMPANY ET AL., APPELLEES
BERANEK, Judge.
This is a plaintiff’s appeal from the dismissal of a complaint against the State of Florida, Department of Transportation. The motion to dismiss was granted on the authority of Cheney v. Dade County, 353 So. 2d 623 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977). This case held it was necessary to allege a special duty owed to the plaintiff different from that owed to the general public. The Supreme Court has now reversed the initial Cheney decision in Commercial Carrier Corporation v. Indian River County, and Cheney v. Dade County, 371 So. 2d 1010 (Fla.\1979). The áppellee concedes this decision requires reversal of the dismissal. The order of dismissal below is, therefore, reversed and the matter remanded to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with the aforementioned Supreme Court decision.
REVERSED AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.
DOWNEY, C. J., and CROSS, SPENCER C., Associate Judge, concur.

If a trial court rules against the defendant on the motion to withdraw, that decision may be challenged upon appeal from the judgment and sentence.

State, 374 So. 2d 1164 (Fla. 4th DCA 1979), where the court reviewed a trial court’s denial of the appellant’s motion to withdraw a plea on the grounds that the plea was allegedly made involuntarily. An additional reason supports not allowing direct appeals on the issue…

J.Y. v. State, 635 So. 2d 34 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993)….’s public defender had known of the D.P. decision on April 14, 1992. Thus, I think that J.Y. preserved the constitutionality of the escape statute as an issue in this appeal. See Ryals v. State, 516 So. 2d 1092 (Fla. 5th DCA 1987); Hollis v. State, 374 So. 2d 1164 (Fla. 5th DCA 1979). As to the merits of this case, the record shows J.Y. left the Volusia House, a level VI juvenile detention facility on January 17, 1992. This was one of other prior escapes. Prior to the escape, he had been committed to a level…

Traver v. State, 474 So. 2d 18 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985)…PER CURIAM. We affirm the lower court’s decision to deny defendant’s post-sentencing request to withdraw his guilty plea on the authority of Hollis v. State, 374 So. 2d 1164 (Fla. 4th DCA 1979), but, because the lower court calculated the additional offenses more than once, we remand for recalculation under the guidelines of defendant’s sentence on the post-October 1983 charge.
