Opinion

Case No. 96-2503

Opinion filed June 17, 1997.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Columbia County. Thomas J. Kennon, Jr., Judge.

Howard Lidsky, Gainesville, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; Trina Kramer and Charmaine Millsaps, Assistant Attorneys General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


Following his conviction for the third-degree felony of misapplication of construction funds in violation of section 713.345(1) (b)3, Florida Statutes (1993), appellant seeks review, raising a number of issues. Only one merits discussion. Appellant claims that section 713.345(1) (b) is facially unconstitutional because it violates Florida's constitutional prohibition of imprisonment for debt without proof of fraud. We affirm as to this issue based upon the well-reasoned opinion inWeber v. State, 649 So.2d 253 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994). We affirm as to the remaining issues without discussion.

AFFIRMED.

WEBSTER, MICKLE and PADOVANO, JJ., CONCUR.
