¶1We review State v. Hunter, 623 So.2d 632 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993). The district court certified this question as one of great public importance:
WHETHER THE MANUFACTURE OF CRACK COCAINE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS FOR USE IN A REVERSE-STING OPERATION CONSTITUTES GOVERNMENTAL MISCONDUCT WHICH VIOLATES THE DUE PROCESS CLAUSE OF THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION, WHERE THE CHARGE IS SOLICITATION TO PURCHASE, I.E., WHETHER MET-CALF V. STATE, 614 S0.2D 648 (FLA. 4TH DCA 1993), IS CORRECT?
¶2We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.
¶3We recently resolved this issue in Metcalf v. State, 635 So.2d 11 (Fla.1994), where we found a due process violation when police used illegally manufactured drugs in a reverse-sting operation. On authority of Met-calf we quash the decision under review. We answer the first part of the certified question in the affirmative. We answer the second part — whether Metcalf v. State, 614 So.2d 548 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993), is correct — in the negative.
¶4Given our resolution of the certified question, we decline to address the second issue Hunter raises.
¶5It is so ordered.
