We accepted jurisdiction to review Hartleb v. State Department of Transportation, 711 So.2d 228 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998), in order to resolve what appeared to be a conflict withAltamonte Hitch Trailer Service, Inc. v. U-Haul Co. of Eastern Florida, 483 So.2d 852 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986).See Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. However, upon closer examination, we find no conflict and find review was improvidently granted. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.

It is so ordered.
