Summary of this case from PARKER v. UNMPLMT APP COMMISSION

Opinion

No. 5D00-2010.

Opinion filed February 2, 2001.

Administrative Appeal from the Unemployment Appeals Commission.

Affirmed.

Alton M. Saunders, Altamonte Springs, pro se.

Geri Atkinson-Hazelton, Tallahassee, Unemployment Appeals Commission, Appellee.


In this appeal, appellant is appearing pro se. Because the merits have been difficult to ascertain from appellant's pro se brief, we ordered the record to examine. Upon review of the record, we find the appeal referee's decision is supported by the evidence submitted. Appellant has offered in his brief additional facts that may have affected the outcome of the case, but this court cannot consider such matters. Our consideration is limited to a review of the existing record.

AFFIRMED.

THOMPSON, C.J., HARRIS, and GRIFFIN, JJ., Concur.
