Thomas v. Precision Response
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 8, 2006 · Cope, Fletcher, Wells
920 So. 2d 703; 2006 Fla. App. LEXIS 1544; 2006 WL 288406 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Thomas v. Precision Response

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Michelle Thomas appeals the denial of unemployment compensation benefits. In the present case conflicting testimony was offered by the parties. It was the responsibility of the referee to resolve the conflicts, which he did in this case in favor of the employer. See Wallace v. Zahn Dental Co., Inc., 618 So.2d 382 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993). This court is not allowed to overturn the referee’s factual findings, as long as there was competent, substantial evidence at the hearing which supports the findings. See Gonzalez v. Master Flowers, Inc., 605 So.2d 180 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992). As we see no legal basis on which to disturb the referee’s findings, the order is affirmed. See also Mason v. Load King Manufacturing Co., 758 So.2d 649 (Fla. 2000); St. Augustine Church v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Commn., 754 So.2d 183 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000); Stahl v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Commn., 502 So.2d 78 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987).

Affirmed.
