Wendy F. Lumish and Joseph H. Lang, Jr. of Carlton, Fields, Ward, Emmanuel, Smith & Cutler, P.A., Miami, FL, for Petitioner.

We have for review a decision of the Second District Court of Appeal certifying the following question to be of great public importance:
Pirelli Armstrong Tire Corp. v. Jensen, 752 So.2d 1275, 1276 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000).
Under article V, section 3(b)(4), of the Florida Constitution, this Court has jurisdiction to review "any decision of a district court of appeal that passes upon a question certified by it to be of great public importance." Because in rendering its decision, the Second District did not pass upon the question certified to this Court, we are without jurisdiction to review this case. See Gee v. Seidman & Seidman, 653 So.2d 384, 385 (Fla.1995)
. Accordingly, we dismiss review of this case as improvidently granted.
It is so ordered.
