PER CURIAM.
Appellant, Ulysses Lynch, appeals the trial court’s order denying his motion to correct sentencing error under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2), contending that his prior conviction for possession of cocaine within five years of his instant conviction cannot constitute a qualifying offense pursuant to section 775.084(l)(a)(2)(b) and (l)(a)(3), Florida Statutes (2002), when read in pari mate-ria. We affirm the trial court’s conclusion that this “is not provided in the statute and should not be read into the statute as a matter of statutory construction.” See Edwards v. State, 743 So. 2d 76 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999) (“Nothing in the statute ... prohibits sentencing a defendant as a habitual felony offender when the current offense was committed within five years of release from prison for a conviction for purchase or possession of a controlled substance in violation of 893.13.”).
AFFIRMED.

State, 888 So. 2d 110 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004)…02), in which the court ruled that in commitment proceedings of this type, [*112] “there must be proof of serious difficulty-in controlling behavior.” Id. at 418, 122 S.Ct. 867.

The court denied the request for the special jury instruction. There is a conflict between the district courts of appeal on this issue. Compare In re Commitment of Allen, 870 So. 2d 168 (Fla.…
