PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Blake v. State, 180 So. 3d 89, 122–23 (Fla. 2014) (“To obtain a new trial based on newly discovered evidence, a defendant must meet two requirements. First, the evidence must not have been known by the trial court, the party, or counsel at the time of trial, and it must appear that the defendant or defense counsel could not have known of it by the use of diligence. Second, the newly discovered evidence must be of such nature that it would probably produce an acquittal on retrial. Newly discovered evidence satisfies the second prong of the [ ] test if it ‘weakens the case against [the defendant] so as to give rise to a reasonable doubt as to his culpability.’”) (internal citations omitted).
