Anthony PALUMBO, Appellant, v. METROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY, Appellee.
    No. AX-496.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    March 22, 1985.
    
      Albert E. Harum, Jr., P.A., Miami, for appellant.
    Marilyn B. Strauss, Asst., Co. Atty., Miami, for appellee.
   MILLS, Judge.

Palumbo appeals from a workers’ compensation order denying him employer/carrier paid attorney’s fees. He asserts entitlement to a fee pursuant to Section 440.-34(3)(a), Florida Statutes (1983), or Section 440.34(3)(b), Florida Statutes (1983).

We find competent substantial evidence in the record to support the deputy’s findings that Palumbo’s attorney did not successfully assert a claim for medical benefits only and that Palumbo suffered no economic loss.

AFFIRMED.

JOANOS and BARFIELD, JJ., concur.
