    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and COPE and SHEVIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

In this action for retaliatory discharge under section 440.205, Florida Statutes (2001), the trial court entered summary judgment on the ground that the plaintiff made neither a “valid claim for compensation or attempt to claim compensation under the Workers’ Compensation Law” so as to invoke the protection of the statute. § 440.205, Fla. Stat. (2001). We agree and affirm.
