The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) seeks certiorari review of a circuit court order granting certiorari and quashing an order of the DHSMV. The order of the DHSMV suspended Harris’s driver’s license based on his arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol. The circuit court quashed the order of the DHSMV because it concluded that the DHSMV failed to present substantial, competent evidence that the breath test administered to Harris was performed in substantial compliance with the applicable administrative rules. In accordance with the nearly identical cases of Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles v. Alliston, 813 So.2d 141 and Department of Highway Safety and Motor *135Vehicles v. Sexton, 813 So.2d 961 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002), we conclude that the circuit court departed from the essential requirements of law because, as a matter of law, the breath test results were admissible in evidence before the administrative hearing officer and were presumptive proof of impairment.

Accordingly, we quash the order granting Harris’s petition for certiorari and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
