Before EMAS, C.J., and SCALES, and MILLER, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant, Jose Rodriguez, challenges an order revoking his probation and imposing a new term of supervision for his felony offenses. Cognizant that the lower tribunal "is in the best position to evaluate the credibility of witnesses and on appeal we are obligated to give great deference to the findings of the trial court," Riggins v. State, 830 So. 2d 920, 921 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002) (citations omitted), and violation of a no contact order is sufficient, in certain circumstances, to demonstrate a "willful, material, and substantial violation" of probationary conditions, here, we discern no abuse of discretion and affirm. Davis v. State, 796 So. 2d 1222, 1225 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001) ; see Glee v. State, 731 So. 2d 759 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999).
Affirmed.
