ON MOTION FOR REHEARING, REHEARING EN BANC, AND CERTIFICATION
We deny Appellee's motion for rehearing and rehearing en banc. However, we certify the following question as one of great public importance to the Florida Supreme Court:
IN A FIRST-PARTY BREACH OF INSURANCE CONTRACT ACTION BROUGHT BY AN INSURED AGAINST ITS INSURER, NOT INVOLVING SUIT UNDER SECTION 624.155, FLORIDA STATUTES, DOES FLORIDA LAW ALLOW THE INSURED TO RECOVER EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES?
MOTION FOR REHEARING AND FOR REHEARING EN BANC DENIED; QUESTION CERTIFIED. ORFINGER and EISNAUGLE, JJ., concur.
