SHAW, Justice.

We have for review Perez v. State, 648 So.2d 784 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994), wherein the district court certified a question concerning the constitutionality of Florida's anti-stalking statute, section 784.048, Florida Statutes (Supp. 1992). We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.

We recently upheld the constitutionality of this statute in Bouters v. State, 20 Fla. L. Weekly S186, ___ So.2d ___ [1995 WL 242403] (Fla. Apr. 27, 1995). Accordingly, we approve Perez.

It is so ordered.

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