We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const. Accordingly, the following committee note is added to Form 7.347, effective upon the release of this opinion: 2008 Note. This form is suggested for use by parties. To avoid possible confusion, when disbursing funds from the court registry in satisfaction of a judgment, the clerk of the court should instead use the form required by the 2005 amendment to section 55.141, Florida Statutes. 1. See Ch. 2005-241, §1, Laws of Fla. The committee note is that of the Rules Committee. It is offered by the Rules Committee for explanation only and is not adopted as an official part of the rules.
