Head Matter:
Harvey JOHNSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 35705.
Supreme Court of Florida.
Oct. 4, 1967.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This cause is before us on appeal from the Criminal Court of Record, Dade County.
Appellant was charged with violation of F.S. § 856.02, F.S.A., the Vagrancy Statute. His motion to quash, attacking the constitutionality of the Statute, was denied by the trial court; he was convicted, sentence was withheld and he was placed on probation for one year.
We have considered the briefs, arguments and authorities cited and conclude the trial court correctly held Florida Statute, § 856.-02, F.S.A. to be constitutional, see Headley v. Seikowitz, 171 So.2d 368, 12 A.L.R.3d 1443 (1965); City of St. Petersburg v. Calbeck, 114 So.2d 316 (Fla.App.2d 1959); State ex rel. Green v. Capehart, 138 Fla. 492, 189 So. 708 (1939). Appellant's conviction must be upheld, Rinehart v. State, 114 So.2d 487 (Fla.App.2d 1959), certiorari dismissed 121 So.2d 654 (1960), certiorari denied 365 U.S. 849, 81 S.Ct. 812, 5 L.Ed.2d 813 (1961); Sutherland v. State, 167 So.2d 236 (Fla.App.2d 1964), certiorari denied 173 So.2d 148 (1965).
Accordingly, the judgment appealed from is affirmed.
It is so Ordered.
CALDWELL, C. J., and THOMAS, ROBERTS, DREW, THORNAL and O'CONNELL, JJ., concur.
ERVIN, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part.
