Florida Department of Environmental Protection v. Florida Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission
Florida Department of Environmental Protection v. Florida Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission
Opinion of the Court
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) seeks review of an order of the Unemployment Appeals Commission, predecessor to the Florida Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission.
The Department of Economic Opportunity determined the claimant was eligible for benefits as of April 24, 2011, and that DEP must reimburse the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund should any benefits be paid. DEP challenged the rede-termination. The appeals referee affirmed “[t]hat portion of the determination dated October 3, 2011, holding the claimant qualified for benefits,” but expressly concluded that the “separation of employment [wa]s not attributable to the employer [DEP]; therefore, the employer remains non-charged.” The Commission affirmed the decision of the appeals referee, concluding the “record adequately supported] the referee’s material findings and the referee’s conclusion [wa]s a reasonable application of the pertinent laws to the material facts of the case.”
We dismiss this appeal for lack of standing. “An appeal of a wholly favorable judgment must be dismissed.” Dep’t of Health v. Fresenius Med. Care Hold
DISMISSED.
