Opinion

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, No. 4D14-3019, 2015 WL 7752702 (Fla. 4th DCA Dec. 2, 2015). We remand for the trial court to impose the statutorily mandated $5,000 civil penalty. See State v. Delgado, 717 So.2d 1053, 1053 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) (“It is well settled that statutorily mandated fines must be imposed absent a stipulation by the state, which did not occur here.”).

Reversed and remanded.
