Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

In. light of the' recent United States Supreme Court decision in U.S. v. Ursery, - U.S. -, 116 S.Ct. 2135, 135 L.Ed.2d 549 (1996), we reverse the trial court’s granting of Defendant’s motion to dismiss. This forfeiture action under Florida’s Contraband Forfeiture Act followed by a criminal proceeding does not violate the Double Jeopardy *1090Clause. See id.; see also §§ 932.701-.707, Fla.Stat. (1995)."

GUNTHER, C.J., and POLEN and FARMER, JJ., concur.
