Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We initially accepted review of the decision of the district court of appeal in City of Miami Beach v. Guerra, 746 So. 2d 1159 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999), based on express and direct conflict with the decision in Byrd v. Richardson-Greenshields Securities, Inc., 552 So. 2d 1099 (Fla. 1989). Upon further consideration, we find that review was improvidently granted. Accordingly, this review proceeding is dismissed.

It is so ordered.

State, 742 So. 2d 338 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999), review dismissed as improvidently granted, 782 So. 2d. 868 (Fla. 2001). In Clements, the trial court ordered partial closure without testing its necessity in any manner, including consideration of the Waller factors. The Fifth District found that the trial court’s decision not to undertake a Waller analysis…
