We have for consideration the following question certified to us in Boyett v. State, 452 So.2d 958, 960 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984), as one of great public importance:

Is a defendant who was placed on probation before October 1, 1983, entitled to elect to be sentenced under the sentencing guidelines after October 1, 1983, upon a revocation of his probation?

We adopt the opinion of the district court of appeal authored by Judge Grimes and answer the question in the affirmative.

It is so ordered.
