(Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GREEN and FLETCHER, JJ.)ON JOINT MOTION FOR DISMISSAL
[Original Opinion at 25 Fla. L. Weekly D1175a]
(PER CURIAM.) After this case was set for rehearing en banc of the May 17, 2000 majority decision affirming the judgment below, the parties entered into a stipulation for the settlement of the case and have jointly moved for the entry of an order of dismissal without retaining jurisdiction for the purpose of issuing any further opinions. Upon the observation, which would be self evident in any case, that this disposition implies nothing concerning the en banc court’s view of the merits, we exercise our discretion, see State v. Schopp, 653 So. 2d 1016 (Fla. 1995), to recognize the stipulation and grant the motion for dismissal of the proceeding. The order setting the cause for argument en banc is vacated.
Appeal dismissed.
