Application for Review of the Decision of the District Court of Appeal — Certified Great Public Importance.

Paul Morris, Sp. Asst. Public Defender, Miami, for petitioner.

ADKINS, Justice.

We have for review a decision of the District Court of Appeal, Third District, (State v. Steffani, 398 So.2d 475 (Fla.3d DCA 1981)), which passes upon questions that it certifies to be of great public importance. We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.

This case involves the same questions as were considered in our consolidated opinion in Griffin v. State and Lawrence v. State, 419 So.2d 320 (Fla. 1982). For the reasons expressed in that consolidated opinion, we approve the district court’s decision.

It is so ordered.

ALDERMAN, C.J., and BOYD, OVERTON, SUNDBERG and McDONALD, JJ., concur.
