Opinion:
SHAW, Justice.
We have for review State v. Koshel, 636 So.2d 598 (Fla. 5th DCA), wherein the district court relied on Bouters v. State, 634 So.2d 246 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994), to reverse a trial court order finding Florida's stalking statute, § 784.048, Fla.Stat. (Supp.1992), unconstitutional. We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.
We have reviewed Bouters and found the statute constitutional. See Bouters v. State, No. 83,558, 659 So.2d 235 (Fla.1995). Accordingly, we approve the district court decision in Koshel.
It is so ordered.
GRIMES, C.J., and OVERTON, HARDING, WELLS and ANSTEAD, JJ., concur.
