Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM. Affirmed. See Hart v. State, 246 So. 3d 417 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018) (en banc). Although two members of this panel dissented in Hart, we affirm because we are bound by Hart, which is currently the law of this district. We again certify conflict with Cuevas v. State, 241 So. 3d 947 (Fla. 2d DCA 2018); Blount v. State, 238 So. 3d 913 (Fla. 2d DCA 2018); Mosier v. State, 235 So. 3d 957 (Fla. 2d DCA 2017); Alfaro v. State, 233 So. 3d 515, 516 (Fla. 2d DCA 2017); and Burrows v. State, 219 So. 3d 910, 911 (Fla. 5th DCA 2017). WARNER, MAY and CIKLIN, JJ., concur.

* * * Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
