Opinion
No. BD-270.
December 18, 1985.
Appeal from an order of Deputy Commissioner William M. Wieland.
Wendell J. Kiser, of Zimmerman, Shuffield, Kiser Sutcliffe, Orlando, for appellants.
Edward H. Hurt, of Hurt, Parrish Dalton, and Bill McCabe, of Shepherd, McCabe Cooley, Orlando, for appellee.
The record in this case demonstrates that the deputy commissioner entered a final order prior to the presentation of the employer/carrier's defense. The final order is REVERSED and the case REMANDED to the deputy commissioner for further proceedings, including the opportunity for the employer/carrier to present its defense.
REVERSED.
SMITH and SHIVERS, JJ., concur.
