Opinion

No. 83-773.

October 5, 1983. Rehearing Denied November 16, 1983.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Sarasota County; Paul E. Logan, Judge.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Frank Lester Adams, III, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellant.

Larry Byrd of Ginsburg, Byrd, Jones Dahlgaard, Sarasota, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

This case cannot be meaningfully distinguished from our recent decision in West v. State, 439 So.2d 907 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983). Therefore, we affirm upon the authority of West, thereby "pairing" the cases for possible Supreme Court review under the rationale of Jollie v. State, 405 So.2d 418 (Fla. 1981).

GRIMES, A.C.J., and SCHOONOVER and LEHAN, JJ., concur.
