Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The decision below denying unemployment compensation benefits is reversed because the conduct complained of did not, as a matter law, amount to disqualifying "misconduct." § 443.036(29), Fla. Stat. (2003); Castillo v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Comm'n, 785 So.2d 552 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001). After remand, the appellant shall be awarded the benefits claimed.
