Per Curiam.
Because the record shows that the trial court engaged in an appropriate analysis of the factors involved in exercising its discretion, but—nevertheless—declined to grant Appellant's request for a downward departure sentence, "we lack authority to review the trial court's decision[.]" Wilson v. State , 306 So. 3d 1267, 1273 (Fla. 1st DCA 2020), rev. granted , No. SC20-1870, 2021 WL 1157838 (Fla. Mar. 26, 2021). As we did in Wilson , we certify that our decision conflicts with the Second District's decision in Barnhill v. State , 140 So. 3d 1055, 1060 (Fla. 2d DCA 2014) ; the Fourth District's decision in Fogarty v. State , 158 So. 3d 669, 671 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014) ; and the Fifth District's decision in Kiley v. State , 273 So. 3d 193, 194 (Fla. 5th DCA 2019). Accordingly, we certify conflict with those decisions.
DISMISSED and CONFLICT CERTIFIED .
