SHAW, Justice.
We have for review Gantorius v. State, 693 So.2d 1040 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997), wherein the district court certified the following question:
DOES THE HOLDING OF STATE V. IACOVONE, 660 So.2d 1371 (Fla.1995) SATISFY THE TEST OF WITT V. STATE, 387 So.2d 922 (Fla.1980), FOR RETROACTIVE APPLICATION?
We have jurisdiction. Art. V., § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. We answered this question in the affirmative in State v. Stevens, No. 90,524, ___ So.2d ___ (Fla. Mar. 26, 1998). We approve Gantorius.
It is so ordered.
KOGAN, C.J., OVERTON, HARDING and ANSTEAD, JJ., and GRIMES, Senior Justice, concur.
WELLS, J., dissents.
