PER CURIAM.
We are called upon to enter an appropriate order in a disciplinary matter regarding a judge. We have jurisdiction under article V, section 12, Florida Constitution. The judge, Paul M. Marko, III, and the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission have entered into a written stipulation recommending a public reprimand. We approve the stipulation which contains the findings of the Commission, in pertinent part, as follows:
In the stipulation Judge Marko regrets and apologizes for his conduct. No one suggests that Judge Marko is presently unfit to serve as a judge.
By publication of this opinion, Judge Marko is reprimanded for the events described above.
It is so ordered.
