884 So. 2d 498

Bryan LINDERMAN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Nos. 5D03-4103, 5D04-214.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Oct. 8, 2004.

James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Kevin R. Holtz, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Ann M. Phillips, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Ap-pellee.

PALMER, J.

Bryan Linderman (defendant) appeals the order designating him a sexual predator, arguing that his procedural due process rights were violated when he was designated as a sexual predator.1 He relies on Espindola v. State, 855 So.2d 1281 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003), in which the Third District held Florida’s Sexual Predator Act to be unconstitutional on the basis that it fails to provide minimal due process. However, this court has held that the Act is constitutional and does not violate a defendant’s procedural due process rights. See Rickman v. State, 871 So.2d 310 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004). The other district courts are in accord. See Allen v. State, 29 Fla. L. Weekly D892 (Fla. 2d DCA April 14, 2004); Frazier v. State, 29 Fla. L. Weekly D369 (Fla. 1st DCA Feb.6, 2004); Dejesus v. State, 862 So.2d 847 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003).

Accordingly, we affirm the designation order rendered below and certify conflict with Espindola.

AFFIRMED; CONFLICT CERTIFIED.

ORFINGER and TORPY, JJ., concur.
