CALVIN’S HEAVY EQUIPMENT, INC. and Auto Owners Insurance Company, Appellants, v. Dwight Jerome KIRKLAND, Appellee.
    No. 96-3523.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Sept. 18, 1997.
    Millard L. Fretland and Douglas F. Miller of Clark, Partington, Hart, Larry, Bond, Stackhouse & Stone, Pensacola, for appellant.
    Russell R. Stewart, Panama City, for ap-pellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The transcript of the final hearing in this workers’ compensation proceeding contains over 400 instances where the court reporter was unable to transcribe portions of testimony. Another court reporter was asked to review the tape of the hearing and agreed that it is impossible to prepare a proper transcript. Accordingly, we reverse and remand the cause for a hearing de novo. Arnold Lumber Co. v. Harris, 469 So.2d 786 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984).

BARFIELD, C.J., and KAHN and DAVIS, JJ., concur.
