Matthew J. Metz, Public Defender, and Allison A. Havens, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Roberts J. Bradford, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED. See Mullens v. State, 197 So. 3d 16, 25 (Fla. 2016) (“We have indicated that authentication for the purpose of admission is a relatively low threshold that only requires a prima facie showing that the proffered evidence is authentic; the ultimate determination of the authenticity of the evidence is a question for the fact-finder.” (citing Gosciminski v. State, 132 So. 3d 678, 700 (Fla. 2013))); Knight v. State, 20 So. 3d 451, 452 (Fla. 5th DCA 2009) (providing that “[t]here is no definitive list of requirements that must be met to authenticate an audio tape” and holding that when “[t]he victim testified that she was a participant in the [recorded] conversation, that she had listened to the tape before trial, that the voices on the tape were Appellant’s and hers and that the tape fairly and accurately memorialized the conversation . . . [n]o further predicate [for the authentication of the recording] was necessary”).

LAMBERT, C.J., EISNAUGLE and HARRIS, JJ., concur.
