L. Barry Keyfetz and Kaplan, Ser, Abrams O'Malley, Miami, for petitioner.

Gurney, Gurney Handley and Jesse F. Sparks, Jr., Orlando, Patrick H. Mears, Tallahassee, and J. Franklin Garner, Lakeland, for respondents.


By petition for a writ of certiorari we have for review an Order of the Florida Industrial Commission bearing date April 29, 1965.

Our consideration of the record, briefs and argument of counsel leads us to conclude that there has been no deviation from the essential requirements of law.

The petition is therefore denied.

The petition for attorney's fees is also denied

THOMAS, ROBERTS, CALDWELL and ERVIN, JJ., concur.

THORNAL, C.J., dissents with opinion.


I think the claimant's lawyer was entitled to a nominal fee, albeit the fee allowed was too much. I, therefore, would remand to the deputy to accomplish this.
