Opinion
No. 98-1301.
November 17, 1998.
An appeal from a Workers' Compensation Order. John J. Lazzara, Judge of Compensation Claims.
Jerome Brown, pro se, appellant.
David R. Terry, Esquire, Tallahassee, for appellees.
The Judge of Compensation Claims has certified that a transcript of the merits hearing cannot be prepared and the parties are unable to provide a satisfactory substitute for the transcript. Under these circumstances, we find we must reverse and remand the order on appeal for a hearing de novo. See Arnold Lumber Co. v. Harris, 469 So.2d 786 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984).
BOOTH, VAN NORTWICK and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
