*484 SHAW, Justice.

Andrew Higgins and Ernie Bennett seek review of the district court decision reported as State v. Tremmel, 644 So. 2d 102 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994), wherein the court certified a question concerning the constitutionality of Florida's anti-stalking statute, section 784.048, Florida Statutes (Supp. 1992). We have jurisdiction. Art. V, ยง 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.

We recently upheld the constitutionality of this statute in Bouters v. State, 20 Fla. L. Weekly S186, ___ So.2d ___ [1995 WL 242403] (Fla. Apr. 27, 1995). Accordingly, we approve Tremmel.

It is so ordered.

GRIMES, C.J., and OVERTON, KOGAN, HARDING, WELLS and ANSTEAD, JJ., concur.
