1Opinion of the CourtAnstead, J.
We have for review Garvin v. Jerome, 721 So.2d 1224 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), in which the Fifth District Court of Appeal held, contrary to the Fourth District’s decision in Davis v. Friend, 507 So.2d 796 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987), but consistent with the Second District’s determination in Wolfson v. Work, 326 So.2d 90, 91 (Fla. 2d DCA 1976), that despite the invalidity of four of the five grounds upon which a recall election for Phyllis T. Garvin was predicated, Garvin’s recall from office would stand. This Court has jurisdiction. See Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. We quash Garvin.
