Supreme Court of Florida.
April 27, 1995.

Opinion:
SHAW, Justice.
We have for review Gilbert v. State, 639 So.2d 191 (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 in 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, WELLS and ANSTEAD, JJ., concur.
KOGAN, J., concurs specially with an opinion.
