The District Court of Appeal, First District, has rendered an order seeking to invoke this Court's jurisdiction under article V, section 3(b)(5), Florida Constitution. The order certifies that the order on appeal has a great effect on the proper administration of justice throughout the state and requires immediate resolution by the Supreme Court.

Having examined the suggestion for certification filed by the appellants in the First District, we have determined that we decline to accept jurisdiction of the appeal under article V, section 3(b)(5). The case is remanded to the First District for further proceedings. No motion for rehearing will be entertained by the Court.
