The petitioner was convicted of violating Fla. Stat. § 893.135(1)(b)1.c, which makes it unlawful to sell, purchase, manufacture, deliver, or bring cocaine into Florida or to knowingly possess cocaine.  The Court recognized that it had determined in Cintron v. U.S. Attorney held that Fla. Stat. § 893.135(1)(c) is neither divisible nor a categorical match to a federal crime in the CSA.  Given the nearly identical language in the two statutes, Cintron controlled the outcome of the instant case.
