PER CURIAM.

    We reverse the county court's order finding the mandatory $5,000
civil penalty imposed for solicitation of prostitution under section
796.07(6), Florida Statutes (2014), to be unconstitutionally excessive.
See State v. Jones, 180 So. 3d 1085 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015). We remand for
further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

CIKLIN, C.J., GERBER and LEVINE, JJ., concur.
