Application for Review of the Decision of the District Court of Appeal — Statutory Validity Fifth District — No. 93-1891 (Seminole County).

James B. Gibson, Public Defender and Sean K. Ahmed, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for petitioner.

SHAW, Justice.

We have for review Polson v. State, 636 So.2d 605 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994), wherein the district court relied on Bouters v. State, 634 So.2d 246 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994), to affirm a trial court order finding Florida's stalking statute, § 784.048, Florida Statutes (Supp. 1992), constitutional. We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.

We recently reviewed Bouters and found the statute constitutional. See Bouters v. State, No. 83,558, ___ So.2d ___ [1995 WL 242403] (Fla. Apr. 27, 1995). Accordingly we approve the district court decision in Polson.

It is so ordered.

GRIMES, C.J., and OVERTON, KOGAN, HARDING, WELLS and ANSTEAD, JJ., concur.
