Supreme Court of Florida ____________

No. SC18-1171 ____________

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.
