    Ralph CHERIN, suing on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, Petitioner, v. SOUTHERN STAR LAND AND CATTLE COMPANY, INC., etc. et al., Respondents.
    No. 59918.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    May 14, 1981.
    Rehearing Denied July 20, 1981.
    Marsha Palmer Niles, Coral Gables, and William S. Frates and R. Thomas Farrar of Frates, Jacobs, Farrar, Novey & Blanton, Miami, for petitioner.
    Gary M. Farmer of Abrams, Anton, Robbins, Resnick, Schneider & Mager, Hollywood, Richard H. Critchlow of Tew, Critch-low, Sonberg, Traum & Friedbauer, Miami, and Edward S. Polk of Becker, Poliakoff & Streitfeld, Fort Lauderdale, for respondents.
   PER CURIAM.

The District Court of Appeal, Third District, in Cherin v. Southern Star Land and Cattle Company, Inc., 390 So.2d 104 (Fla.3d DCA 1980), affirmed an order of the trial court striking the plaintiff’s class action claim for fraud. The district court cited as authority for its affirmance Frankel v. City of Miami Beach, 340 So.2d 463 (Fla.1976), and Osceola Groves, Inc. v. Wiley, 78 So.2d 700 (Fla.1955). Intending to afford this Court a vehicle for review so that we could consider the desirability of continued adherence to the fraud class action rule enunciated in Osceola Groves, the district court certified this case to us as one which passed upon a question of great public importance. After having considered the arguments of counsel, we conclude that the record in this case does not establish sufficient facts for us to adequately respond to the certified question.

Accordingly, we respectfully decline to accept jurisdiction in this case.

It is so ordered.
