Head Matter:
STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Mercedes ACOSTA, Appellee.
No. 94-0055.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Feb. 1, 1995.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, Melvina Racey Flaherty and Myra J. Fried, Asst. Attys. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The trial court dismissed this case after concluding that a statutory provision under which defendant was charged was facially unconstitutional. In a companion case, State v. Marcolini, 664 So.2d 963 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995) we determined that the same provision was facially constitutional. We therefore reverse this case for the reasons expressed in Marcolini.
HERSEY, WARNER and KLEIN, JJ., concur.
