PER CURIAM.

This ‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‍cause reaches us by way of petitioners’ assertion of appellate jurisdiction and petition for writ of certiorari from a decision of the District Court of Appeal, Third District, reported at 366 So.2d 64. We have ‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‍no appellate jurisdiction, as the district court expressly declined to rule upon the constitutional issue. Chandler v. State, 366 So.2d 64, 69 (Fla.3d DCA 1978).

Nor do we have certiorari jurisdiction. No conflict has been demonstrated, and ‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‍the question of great public interest certified to us by the district court has been rendered moot by the decision in Petition of Post-Newsweek Stations, Florida, Inc., 370 So.2d 764 (Fla. 1979).

Accordingly, the petition for writ ‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‍of certiorari is denied.

It is so ordered.

ENGLAND, C.J., and ADKINS, BOYD, OVERTON, SUNDBERG and ALDERMAN, JJ., concur.
