JOHN H. SWISHER & SON and ITT Specialty Risk Services, Appellants, v. Gloria SCANTLING, Appellee.
    No. 96-1679.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    March 5, 1997.
    Rehearing Denied April 18, 1997.
    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.
   PER CURIAM.

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.
