## Opinion text

OPINION ON REHEARING
PER CURIAM.
We deny the petition for rehearing but certify the following question as one of great public importance to the Florida Supreme Court:
May a municipality be held liable to an owner-developer of a building project under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 for the wrongful refusal of the municipality’s chief building official to withdraw a stop-work order on the project?
ANSTEAD, DELL and STONE, JJ., concur.
