Application for Review of the Decision of the District Court of Appeal — Certified Great Public Importance, First District — Case Nos. 1D00-451 1D00-578 (Leon County).
Jeffrey L. Frehn and Katherine E. Giddings of Katz, Kutter, Haigler, Alderman, Bryant Yon, P.A., Tallahassee, Florida, on behalf of Florida Department of Lottery; and Sylvia H. Walbolt, Martha Harrell Chumbler, and Joseph H. Lang, Jr. of Carlton Fields, P.A., Tallahassee, Florida, on behalf of Automated Wagering International, Inc., Petitioners.
Thomas Panza, Mark A. Emanuele, and Deborah S. Platz of Panza, Maurer, Maynard Neel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and John K. Aurell, John R. Beranek, and Martin B. Sipple of Ausley McMullen, Tallahassee, Florida, for Respondent.
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review a decision of the First District Court of Appeal. See art. V § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. Subsequently, for purposes of oral argument, we consolidated for review two cases that arose out of Florida Department of Lottery v. Gtech Corp., 816 So.2d 648 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001), on motion for certification, 816 So.2d at 655 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001), wherein the district court certified two questions to be of great public importance. Upon reflection, and further consideration, we now conclude that review was improvidently granted. Accordingly, this review proceeding is dismissed.
It is so ordered.
