Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We initially accepted jurisdiction to review Ingalsbe v. Stewart Agency, Inc., 869 So. 2d 30 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004), a decision of the district court of appeal certifying a question to be of great public importance pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(4) of the Florida Constitution.

It is so ordered.
