Burnell B. BROWN, Appellant, v. CHRISTIAN & MISSIONARY ALLIANCE FOUNDATION and the St. Paul Company, Appellee.
    No. AF-368.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    May 6, 1982.
    Stevan T. Northcutt of Levine, Freedman, Hirsch & Levinson, P. A., Tampa, and Law Offices of Bruce L. Schemer, P. A., Fort Myers, for appellant.
    Peter C. Burkert of Henderson, Franklin, Starnes & Holt, Fort Myers, for appellee.
   MILLS, Judge.

Claimant contends that the deputy commissioner erred in dismissing his claim. We affirm.

The dismissal is authorized by Martin Co. v. Carpenter, 132 So.2d 400 (Fla.1961). There is competent substantial evidence in the record that (1) claimant knowingly made false representations, (2) the employer relied on the misrepresentations, and (3) there was a causal connection between the misrepresentations and the injury.

LARRY G. SMITH and SHAW, JJ., concur.
