ON MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION

We grant the motion for clarification. It is well settled that a denial of certiorari without a written opinion cannot be construed as passing on the merits of the dispute. Florida Insurance Guaranty Ass'n. v. Celotex Corp., 547 So.2d 696, 697 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989). The concurrence in the order dated February 15, 1990 does no more than make explicit what is implicit in the panel's ruling.

BASKIN, JORGENSON and COPE, JJ., concur.
