Opinion

FERGUSON, Judge.

We agree with the first and second districts¹ that Florida’s so-called “civil death” [470]*470statute, section 944.292, Florida Statutes (1985), to the extent that it deprives a person convicted of a crime of bringing or defending a civil action in the courts of this state until his civil rights are restored, is unconstitutional.

The motion to dismiss the appeal of appellant Robert Sabin is denied.
