JULIANNE M. HOLT, etc.,

Petitioner,

vs.

MICHAEL EDWARD KEETLEY, et al., Respondents.

September 5, 2019

PER CURIAM.

We initially accepted jurisdiction to review Holt v. Keetley, 250 So. 3d 206 (Fla. 2d DCA 2018), based on express and direct conflict with a decision of another district court of appeal and on the ground that the decision expressly affects a class of constitutional officers. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.

Upon further consideration, we conclude that this matter is moot, and we exercise our discretion and discharge jurisdiction. Accordingly, this review proceeding is hereby dismissed.

It is so ordered.

CANADY, C.J., and POLSTON, LABARGA, LAWSON, LAGOA, LUCK, and MUÑIZ, JJ., concur.

NO MOTION FOR REHEARING WILL BE ALLOWED.
