Opinion
No. WW-447.
April 16, 1981. Rehearing Denied May 28, 1981.
Appeal to review an order of Deputy Commissioner Steven J. Johnson, Jr.
Richard H. Weisberg of Cooper Rissman, Orlando, for appellants.
Rafael De Armas, Orlando, for appellee.
AFFIRMED.
SHIVERS and WENTWORTH, JJ., and WOODIE A. LILES (Ret.), Associate Judge, concur.
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
The appellee successfully defended his cause in a workers' compensation appeal before this court and now petitions for rehearing, urging that we award him an attorney's fee. The original request for attorney's fees on appeal was made in the appellee's brief instead of by separately-filed motion. Therefore, the request must be denied. See Brannon v. Marion County Sheriff's Office, 391 So.2d 253 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980) and cases cited therein.
Accordingly, Petition for Rehearing is DENIED.
SHIVERS, WENTWORTH, JJ., and LILES, WOODIE A. (Retired), Associate Judge, concur.
