Opinion:
SHAW, Justice.
We have for review Varney v. State, 638 So.2d 1063 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994), wherein the district court certified the following question:
Is section 784.048, Florida Statutes (Supp. 1992), facially unconstitutional as vague and overbroad?
We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.
We have found this statute constitutional. See Bouters v. State, 659 So.2d 235 (Fla. 1995). Accordingly, we answer the question in the negative and approve the district court decision on this issue.
It is so ordered.
GRIMES, C.J., and OVERTON, HARDING and WELLS, JJ., concur.
KOGAN, J., dissents with an opinion, in which ANSTEAD, J., concurs.
