JEAN STEWART et al.,
Petitioners,
vs.
I.B. PRICE, M.D.,
Respondent.
[May 4, 2000]
PER CURIAM.
We have for review Stewart v. Price, 718 So. 2d 205 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998),
which expressly declares a state statute valid.  We have jurisdiction.  See art. V, §
3(b)(3), Fla. Const.  We recently held that the statute in question, section 768.21(8),
Florida Statutes (1991), is constitutional.  See Mizrahi v. North Miami Med. Ctr., Nos.
SC93649 & SC93650  (Fla. Apr. 20, 2000).  Accordingly, we approve Stewart.1
It is so ordered.
HARDING, C.J., and SHAW, WELLS, ANSTEAD and LEWIS, JJ., concur.

I dissent for the same reasons I expressed in my dissenting opinion in Mizrahi
v. North Miami Med. Ctr., Ltd., Nos. SC93649, SC93650 (Fla. Apr. 20, 2000).
