Head Matter:
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.

Opinion:
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.
