Molina v. Alpha Staff Group, Inc.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 9, 2009 · Browning, Hawkes, Kahn
1 So. 3d 393; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 1003; 2009 WL 290517 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Molina v. Alpha Staff Group, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Claimant challenges an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims (JCC) awarding a fee in accordance with the statutory fee guideline set forth in section 440.34(1), Florida Statutes. We hold the JCC erred in relying on extra-record material in support of his finding that the petition for benefits was not for medical benefits only. Consequently, we REVERSE the order and REMAND for a fee award in the amount of $1,500.00.

HAWKES, C.J., KAHN and BROWNING, JJ., concur.
