Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We have for review A.T. v. State, 983 So.2d 679 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008), in which the Fourth District Court of Appeal cited as authority its decision in E.A.R. v. State, 975 So.2d 610 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008), quashed, 4 So.3d 614 (Fla.2009). At the time the Fourth District issued its decision in A.T., EA.R. was pending review in this Court. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So.2d 418 (Fla.1981).

We stayed proceedings in this case pending our disposition of E.A.R. v. State, 4 So.3d 614 (Fla.2009), in which we ultimately quashed the Fourth District’s underlying E.A.R. decision and explicitly disapproved its decision in A.T. Now, as AT. is on direct review, we have determined to correspondingly quash the Fourth District’s underlying AY. decision.

We thus grant the petition for review in the present case. The decision under review is quashed and this matter is remanded to the Fourth District for reconsideration upon application of this Court’s E.A.R. decision.

It is so ordered.

QUINCE, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, POLSTON, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur.

CANADY, J., dissents.
