Supreme Court of Florida ____________ No. SC95674 ____________ LAS OLAS TOWER COMPANY, Petitioner, vs. CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE, Respondent. [April 12, 2001] SHAW, J. We granted review of Las Olas Tower Co. v. City of Fort Lauderdale, 742 So. 2d 308 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999), because City of Dania v. Florida Power & Light, 718 So. 2d 813 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998), was pending here at that time and both cases addressed the proper scope of first- and second-tier certiorari review. We have since issued Florida Power & Light Co. v. City of Dania, 761 So. 2d 1089 (Fla. 2000), and the present case is consistent with that opinion.
