¶4We have before us for review Miles v. State,536 So.2d 262 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988), which is in express and direct conflict with the Fifth District Court of Appeal's decision of Franklin v. State,526 So.2d 159 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988), approved on other grounds,545 So.2d 851 (Fla. 1989). We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(3) of the Florida Constitution.

¶5The state raises only one issue for our review. That issue is identical to the one we decide today in State v. Watts,558 So.2d 994 (Fla. 1990). For the reasons we state in Watts, we approve the decision of the district court below.

¶6It is so ordered.
