per curiam.

this case arises from the third district court of appeal's reversal of a final
judgment entered in a smokers' class action lawsuit that sought damages against cigarette companies and industry organizations for alleged smoking-related injuries.

see liggett group
, inc.
v. engle, 853 so. 2d 434 (fla. 3d dca 2003) (hereinafter "engle ii").

the final judgment awarded $12.7 million in compensatory damages to three individual plaintiffs and $145 billion in punitive damages to the entire class. see id. at 441. we have jurisdiction because engle ii misapplies our decision in young v. miami beach improvement co., 46 so. 2d 26
(fla. 1950). see art. v, § 3(b)(3), fla. const.
