Ortiz v. Correctional Medical Services
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 17, 2013 · Padovano, Swanson, Wetherell
131 So. 3d 798; 2013 WL 2149640; 2013 Fla. App. LEXIS 8044 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Ortiz v. Correctional Medical Services

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

In this workers’ compensation appeal, the claimant seeks review of an order denying approval of $254.83 in costs stipulated to by the employer and carrier (E/C). The E/C filed a notice with this Court stating that they did not intend to file an answer brief and that they have “no counterargument to the issue before [the court].” We treat this notice as a confession of error and, accordingly, reverse the order denying approval of the stipulated costs and remand for entry of an order approving the E/C’s payment of $254.83 in costs to the claimant.

REVERSED and REMANDED with directions.

PADOVANO, WETHERELL, and SWANSON, JJ., concur.
