Ramon F. GARCIA, Appellant, v. FLORIDA UNEMPLOYMENT APPEALS COMMISSION, Appellee.
    No. 3D05-1934.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    March 15, 2006.
    Ramon F. Garcia, in proper person.
    John D. Maher (Tallahassee), for the Unemployment Appeals Commission.
    Before GERSTEN, GREEN, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.
   PER CURIAM.

Ramon Garcia (Garcia) appeals the Unemployment Appeals Commission’s order affirming the disqualification of Garcia’s unemployment compensation benefits.

Because the record does not contain substantial competent evidence to support a finding of misconduct serious enough to disqualify Garcia from receiving unemployment compensation benefits, we reverse. See Mitchell v. Fla. Unemployment Appeals Comm’n, 804 So.2d 618 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002)(although work attitude and demean- or may not have been appropriate, there was no evidence of misconduct serious enough to warrant disqualification from receiving unemployment benefits); Carmona v. Fla. Unemployment Appeals Comm’n, 826 So.2d 1014 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001); Benitez v. Girlfriday, Inc., 609 So.2d 665, 666 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992). Accordingly, we reverse and remand with directions to afford Garcia the benefits he claimed.

Reversed and remanded.
