MARIA BUITRAGO,
Petitioner,
vs.
LANDRY’S, et al.,
Respondents.
[February 26, 2009]
PER CURIAM.
We have for review Buitrago v. Landry’s, 949 So. 2d 1046 (Fla. 1st DCA
2006), in which the First District Court of Appeal certified a question of great
public importance. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § (3)(b)(4), Fla. Const.
We stayed proceedings in this case pending our disposition of Murray v.
Mariner Health, 994 So. 2d 1051 (Fla. 2008). When our Murray decision became
final, we issued an order directing respondents in the present case to show cause
why we should not exercise jurisdiction, summarily quash the decision being
reviewed, and remand for reconsideration in light of our decision in Murray.
Respondents did not file a response.

Accordingly, we grant the petition for review in this case, quash the decision
below, and remand for reconsideration upon application of our decision in Murray.
It is so ordered.
QUINCE, C.J., and WELLS, PARIENTE, LEWIS, CANADY, POLSTON, and
LABARGA, JJ., concur.
NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION, AND
IF FILED, DETERMINED.
