Opinion

ON MOTION TO CERTIFY A QUESTION OF GREAT PUBLIC IMPORTANCE

We grant the motion to certify a question of great public importance.

The supreme court has discretionary jurisdiction to review decisions of the district courts which pass upon a question certified to be of great public importance. Fla. R. App. P. 9.030(a)(2)(A)(v). The majority decision passes upon such a question. We therefore certify the following question to the supreme court as one of great public importance. Do witnesses appearing in a juvenile adjudicatory hearing by Zoom during a global pandemic constitute a per se violation of the defendants due process rights?

Per Curiam.

May, Ciklin, and Levine, JJ., concur.
