Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
We accepted jurisdiction to review St. Mary’s Hospital, Inc. v. Brinson, 685 So. 2d 33 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996), in order to resolve what appeared to be a conflict. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. However, on closer examination, we find that review was improvidently granted, and, accordingly, we dismiss the petition.
It is so ordered.

Yoder v. Kuvin, 785 So. 2d 679 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001)…ainst Do-lan with the product liability case against the manufacturer of the ladder. Consolidation of the cases did not deprive Dolan of a substantive right. See St. Mary’s Hosp., Inc. v. Brinson, 685 So. 2d 33 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996), review dismissed, 709 So. 2d 105 (Fla.1998).
