Robert HOPKINS, Appellant, v. DIVERSIFIED STEEL SERVICES, and Aetna Casualty & Surety Company, Appellees.
    No. AW-84.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    June 26, 1984.
    Anthony J. Beisler, III, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.
    Steven Kronenberg, Adams, Kelley & Kronenberg, Miami, for appellees.
   MILLS, Judge.

We affirm the deputy commissioner’s order finding Hopkins’ injuries noncompensa-ble. Competent and substantial evidence supports the finding that he is not entitled to compensation because his injuries were occasioned primarily by his intoxication or because he was the aggressor in a fight. In either case, Section 440.09(3), Florida Statutes (1983) precludes compensation.

AFFIRMED.

SHIVERS and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.
