108 So. 2d 608

Albert HAKAM, Petitioner, v. CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, a Florida municipal corporation, Respondent.

No. 29527.

Supreme Court of Florida

Jan. 28, 1959.

*609Pruitt & Pruitt, Miami, for petitioner.

Joseph A. Wanick, Miami Beach, for respondent.

DREW, Justice.

The Circuit Court of Dade County, in a declaratory judgment action concerning petitioner’s rights under the Civil Service Act of respondent City, entered a decree adverse to the contentions of the petitioner police officer of the City. On appeal the District Court for the Third District affirmed without opinion.

Asserting that such police officer is a constitutional or state officer within the meaning of the Constitution,1 an attempt is made here to have the per curiam order of affirmance of the District Court reviewed by us. Our opinion in Lake v. Lake2 is sufficient to deny the petition for certiorari. In addition, however, it is quite obvious that a police officer of a municipal corporation is not a “constitutional or state officer” as contemplated by the germane constitutional provision.3

Certiorari denied.

TERRELL, C. J., and THOMAS, ROBERTS and BUFORD, JJ., concur.
