Opinion

No. 84315.

May 4, 1995.

Application for Review of the Decision of the District Court of Appeal — Constitutional Construction Fourth District — No. 93-0461 (Okeechobee County).

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender and Anthony Calvello, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for petitioner.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen. and Michael J. Neimand, Asst. Atty. Gen., and Parker D. Thomson and Carol A. Licko, Sp. Asst. Attys. Gen., Miami, for respondent.


We have for review Blount v. State, 641 So.2d 200 (Fla. 4th 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, section 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 Blount.

It is so ordered.

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