FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
                 STATE OF FLORIDA
                 _____________________________

                         No. 1D17-5141
                 _____________________________

CHASE MICHAEL MANNING,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Bay County.
Michael C. Overstreet, Judge.

                        December 18, 2018

PER CURIAM.

     Appellant, Chase Michael Manning, appeals from a judgment
and sentence on the charges of trafficking in methamphetamine,
possession of a controlled substance, driving while license
canceled, suspended, or revoked, possession of paraphernalia,
resisting officer without violence, and leaving the scene of a crash
involving damage. He raises two issues on appeal, as to the first
of which we affirm without discussion.

    Appellant’s second issue is that chapter 893, Florida Statutes
(2016), is unconstitutional on its face because it eliminates
knowledge of the illicit nature of the controlled substance as an
element of the offense. We affirm on the authority of State v.
Adkins, 96 So. 3d 412 (Fla. 2012).
    AFFIRMED.

WOLF, LEWIS, and WETHERELL, JJ., concur.

                _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
