STATE OF FLORIDA, RESPONDENT
PARIENTE, J.
We have for review the opinion in Johnson v. State, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D2419, — So. 2d -, 1998 WL 746142 (Fla 4th DCA Oct. 28, 1998), which certified conflict with the opinions in State v. Holland, 689 So. 2d 1268 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997), and State v. Perry, 716 So. 2d 327 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. For the reasons expressed in our opinion in Hayes v. State, 750 So. 2d 1 (Fla.1999), the decision of the Fourth District is hereby quashed. We remand to the district court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.

THE Florida BAR v. Bartley Charles Miller, 863 So. 2d 231 (Fla. 2003)…. Const.

We find Miller’s continuous and intentional pattern of deceit particularly more egregious than the circumstances under which we have approved a public re…
