Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
These consolidated appeals are from a final judgment, entered pursuant to jury verdict, adjudging appellant guilty of possession and control of less than five grams of marijuana and from an order revoking appellant’s probation imposed for a prior offense.
We have carefully reviewed the records on appeal and the briefs filed by counsel. Upon our consideration thereof, we find that appellant has failed to demonstrate reversible error in the judgment and order appealed herein, and the same are therefore affirmed.
RAWLS, C. J., and JOHNSON and SPECTOR, JJ., concur.

When the obligation has been converted into a debt to a third person, it no longer carries the public necessity for enforcement by imprisonment. See Corbin v. Etheridge, 296 So. 2d 59 (Fla.lst DCA 1974); and State ex rel. Gillham v. Phillips, 193 So. 2d 26 (Fla.2d DCA 1966). The fact that the State is the third party does not transfer to the State a greater right to the remedy of contempt than that held by a private litigant. See…
