Opinion

Case No. 96-1679

Opinion filed March 5, 1997. Rehearing Denied April 18, 1997

An appeal from an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims. Ivy Cream Harris, Judge.

Susan M. Jenson of O'Hara, Spradley, Byrd, Jenson Stanley, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellants.

Lisa A. Lovingood of Lisa A. Lovingood, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellee.


The judge of compensation claims correctly imposed attorney's fees against appellants as a sanction due to their failure to comply with the judge's prior order approving the parties' agreement that appellants would pay certain medical bills, which remained unpaid. See Fla. R. Work. Comp. 4.150; § 440.33(1), Fla. Stat. (1991). Cf. Horizon Healthcare v. Murphy, 660 So.2d 1065 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995).

AFFIRMED.

BARFIELD, C.J., and ERVIN and BENTON, JJ., CONCUR.
