Steven COLLINS, Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. ESCAMBIA ROOF MASTERS and CNA Insurance, Appellees/Cross-Appellants.
    No. 1D04-3536.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Aug. 19, 2005.
    Woodburn S. Wesley of Woodburn S. Wesley & Assoc., Ft. Walton Beach, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee.
    Mary L. Wakeman of McConnaughhay, Duffy, Coonrod, Pope & Weaver, P.A., Tallahassee, for Appellees/Cross-Appellants.
   PER CURIAM.

The claimant is not entitled to recover workers’ compensation benefits from the employer/carrier because the claimant filed a valid notice of election to be exempt from the provisions of chapter 440, Florida Statutes. See Battle v. Gentry, 898 So.2d 263 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005); § 440.10(1), Fla. Stat. (2002). Therefore, the JCC’s ruling is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.

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