Bouters v. State (634 So. 2d 246, 1994)

PER CURIAM.

The appellant, Scott Bouters, was charged with the offense of aggravated stalking pursuant to section 784.048(3), Florida Statutes (Supp.1992), known as the Florida Stalking Law. He moved to dismiss on the ground that such statute is facially unconstitutional because of vagueness and overbreadth. Following denial of that motion, he pled nolo contendere and then filed the instant appeal. Without belaboring the issue, we find the aforesaid statute to be facially constitutional, and basically agree with the analysis of that statute as found in State v. Pallas, 1 Fla.L.Weekly Supp. 442 (Fla. 11th Cir. June 9, 1993). In respect to the argument that the definition of the word “harasses” in subsection (1)(a) of the statute is vague because of the nonspecific term “serves no legitimate purpose,” we agree with the analysis in State v. Bossie, 1 Fla.L.Weekly Supp. 465, 466 (Fla. Brevard County Ct. June 22,1993), that the statute, read in its entirety, renders that particular phrase superfluous, hence, harmless.

AFFIRMED.
