03/08/2006 ORDER-JURIS ACCEPT/BRIEF SCHED (OA LATER DATE) The Court provisionally accepts jurisdiction of this case based upon the preliminary determination that it appears to present express and direct conflict as to whether the elements of the respective offenses, or the severity of sentence resulting from conviction, controls the determination of which is a lesser or greater offense when convictions for both charges would constitute a double jeopardy violation. See Stav v. State, 860 So. 2d 478 (Fla 4th DCA 2003), and Donovan v. State, 572 So. 2d 522 (Fla 5th DCA 1990). Merit briefing shall include, but not be limited to, this lesser/greater offense issue. Oral argument will be set by separate order. Counsel for the parties will be notified of the oral argument date approximately sixty (60) days prior to oral argument. Petitioner's brief on the merits shall be served on or before April 3, 2006; respondent's brief on the merits shall be served twenty (20) days after service of petitioner's brief on the merits; and petitioner's reply brief on the merits shall be served twenty (20) days after service of respondent's brief on the merits. Please file an original and seven (7) copies of all briefs. The Clerk of the Second District Court of Appeal shall file the original record which shall be properly indexed and paginated on or before May 8, 2006. The record shall include the briefs filed in the district court separately indexed.

09/21/2006 ORAL ARGUMENT HELD
12/21/2006 DISP-QUASHED A comparison of statutory elements is the proper method for determining a lesser offense in the double jeopardy context, and based upon a comparison of the statutory elements, we find that grand theft is a lesser offense of organized fraud. Accordingly, we quash Pizzo v. State, 916 So. 2d 828 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005), and approve Donovan v. State, 572 So. 2d 522 (Fla. 5th DCA 1990).
