1Opinion of the Court

FERGUSON, Judge.

We agree with the first and second districts1 that Florida’s so-called “civil death” *470statute, section 944.292, Florida Statutes (1985), to the extent that it deprives a person convicted of a crime of bringing or defending a civil action in the courts of this state until his civil rights are restored, is unconstitutional.

The motion to dismiss the appeal of appellant Robert Sabin is denied.. McCuiston v. Wanicka, 483 So.2d 489 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986); Lloyd v. Farkash, 476 So.2d 305 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985).
