DAVIS, Judge.

R.J.H. appeals the trial court's adjudication of delinquency for violating Tampa's juvenile curfew ordinance. See Tampa, Fla., Code § 14-26(c) (1996). We reject R.J.H.'s contention that the ordinance is unconstitutional and affirm under the authority of J.P. v. State, No. 2D97-1736 (Fla. 2d DCA June 23, 2000), and State v. T.M., 25 Fla. L. Weekly D1211 (Fla. 2d DCA May 17, 2000).

We again certify the following questions of great public importance:

WHAT LEVEL OF SCRUTINY MUST A COURT APPLY WHEN REVIEWING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF A JUVENILE CURFEW ORDINANCE?

WHETHER THE TAMPA JUVENILE CURFEW ORDINANCE IS CONSTITUTIONAL?

Affirmed.
