Division ("Circuit Court"). We grant the petition as an appellate court cannot grant certiorari, thus quashing, an administrative decision, without providing reasons for so doing.

Accordingly, we grant the petition, quash the per curiam reversal issued below, and remand for the Circuit Court to issue a written opinion stating its reasons for granting certiorari.

Petition granted.
