Jose W. MOLINA, Appellant, v. ALPHA STAFF GROUP, INC. and Unisource Administrators, Inc., Appellees.
    No. 1D08-1876.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Feb. 9, 2009.
    Kimberly A. Hill of Kimberly A. Hill, P.L., Ft. Lauderdale, for Appellant.
    Lisa B. Hicks of Hernandez & Hicks, Ft. Lauderdale, for Appellees.
   PER CURIAM.

Claimant challenges an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims (JCC) awarding a fee in accordance with the statutory fee guideline set forth in section 440.34(1), Florida Statutes. We hold the JCC erred in relying on extra-record material in support of his finding that the petition for benefits was not for medical benefits only. Consequently, we REVERSE the order and REMAND for a fee award in the amount of $1,500.00.

HAWKES, C.J., KAHN and BROWNING, JJ., concur.
