Opinion

GRIFFIN, J.

The Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles petitions for a writ of cer-tiorari to review a decision of an appellate panel of the Ninth Judicial Circuit. The circuit court had issued its Order Granting Respondent, Bradford Meinken’s, Petition for Writ of Certiorari, quashing the hearing officer’s administrative decision upholding the suspension of his license for driving under the influence of alcohol. The panel held that Respondent had rebutted the presumption that the Intoxilyzer 8000 on which he performed his breath test was properly approved for use in Florida. We grant the writ and quash the decision of the circuit court on the authority of Dep’t of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles v. Berne, 49 So.3d 779 (Fla. 5th DCA 2010).

Petition for Writ of Certiorari GRANTED; and decision QUASHED.

MONACO, C.J., and SAWAYA, J., concur.
