Head Matter:
Ralph M. HANSEN, Jr., P.E., Appellant, v. FLORIDA ENGINEERS MANAGEMENT CORPORATION, Appellee.
No. 1D02-2614.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
July 11, 2003.
Robert D. Newell, Jr., of Newell & Terry, P.A., Tallahassee, Attorneys for Appellant.
Douglas D. Sunshine, Tallahassee, Attorney for Appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant appeals the revocation of his professional engineering license in Florida and a $5,000 fíne imposed by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers and on file with the Florida Engineers Management Corporation. Appellee concedes that the $5,000 penalty imposed exceeded the monetary penalty allowed under the statute under which Appellant was charged. Accordingly, we agree with Appellee that the penalty should be reduced to $8,000, the maximum penalty permissible.
Appellant's other issues on appeal are without merit. We therefore reverse and remand to the Board for entry of a Final Order correcting the administrative fine to $8,000. The revocation of Appellant's license is affirmed.
AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.
BOOTH, BARFIELD, and ALLEN, JJ., concur.
