Opinion

No. 92-278.

November 12, 1993.

Appeal from the Judge of Compensation Claims, Doris Housholder, J.

Mathew D. Staver and Michael D. Rouse of Staver Associates, Orlando, for appellants.

Sharon Lee Stedman of De Ciccio Associates, P.A., Orlando, for appellees.

MICKLE, Judge.

We reverse the judge of compensation claims' (JCC's) order assessing attorney's fees and costs in favor of appellees. No statutory authority exists for the attorney's fee award. Further, the costs award is not supported by competent substantial evidence. It is therefore unnecessary for us to address the remaining issues raised on appeal.

BARFIELD and WOLF, JJ., concur.
