758 So. 2d 736 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000)

Opinion

No. 3D99-2429.

Opinion filed May 17, 2000.

An Appeal from the Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission, L.T. No. 99-04321.

Nestor J. Caldera, in proper person.

John D. Maher (Tallahassee), for appellee Unemployment Appeals Commission.

Before JORGENSON, LEVY, and SHEVIN, JJ.


Nestor J. Caldera appeals the denial of unemployment benefits. For the following reason, we affirm.

Because the 20-day appeal period is jurisdictional, the Unemployment Appeals Commission properly dismissed the appeal as untimely. See § 443.151(4)(b)3, Fla. Stat. (1999) (referee's decision is final unless within 20 days, the claimant seeks review by the Unemployment Appeals Commission); Fla. Admin. Code R. 38E-3.006 ("An application for review which is not filed within the time allowed by law shall be dismissed by the Commission for lack of jurisdiction.").

AFFIRMED.
