Stewart v. Price

762 So. 2d 475, 25 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 346, 2000 Fla. LEXIS 820, 2000 WL 551036

Opinions

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., 761 So.2d 1040 (Fla.2000). Accordingly, we approve Stewart.1

It is so ordered.

HARDING, C.J., and SHAW, WELLS, ANSTEAD and LEWIS, JJ., concur. PARIENTE, J., dissents with an opinion, in which QUINCE, J., concurs.
