Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

[*1097] PER CURIAM.

We review Veach v. State, 614 So. 2d 680 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993), based on conflict with Preston v. State, 411 So. 2d 297 (Fla. 3d DCA), review denied, 418 So. 2d 1280 (Fla.1982). We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(3) of the Florida Constitution.

We recently resolved this conflict with our decisions in Sirmons v. State, 620 So. 2d 1249 (Fla.1993), and Troutman v. State, 630 So. 2d 628 (Fla.1993). On authority of Sirmons and Troutman we approve the First District’s decision in Veach and approve the opinion under review.

It is so ordered.

BARKETT, C.J., and OVERTON, McDonald, shaw, grimes, kogan and HARDING, JJ., concur.
