Alfred J. ZARNOWSKI, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION and Canteen Food & Vending Service, Respondents.
    No. 77-775.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Dec. 13, 1977.
    Roger D. Haagenson of Haagenson & Peacock, Fort Lauderdale, for petitioner.
    No appearance for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

We find that the petitioner, Alfred J. Zarnowski, did not receive sufficient notice of a hearing to determine his right to unemployment compensation benefits. The notice stated that only the testimony of the petitioner’s employer would be taken. Instead a final hearing was conducted, and the petitioner was not allowed a reasonable opportunity to present evidence in his own behalf. Accordingly, the petition for writ of certiorari is granted; and the decision of the Industrial Relations Commission is quashed with directions that a new hearing be scheduled before an appeals referee with proper notice thereof to the petitioner.

ANSTEAD, DAUKSCH, and LETTS, JJ., concur. .
