Head Matter:
Joe D. NICHOLSON, Appellant, v. ROSS PRODUCTS, INC., a Delaware corporation, Appellee.
No. 4-86-0891.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
May 6, 1987.
Cathy Jackson Lerman of Cathy Jackson Lerman, P.A., and Butler & Pettit, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.
Ronald M. Zakarin of Schwartz, Gold and Cohen, P.A., Boca Raton, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Although we sympathize with appellant's position that reason and consistency would suggest that attorney's fees be awarded upon a judicial determination that an employee has been wrongfully discharged because he filed a worker's compensation claim, we can find no provision in the statutes for such an award. See § 440.205, Fla.Stat. (1985). We disagree with appellant's contention that the trial court erred in failing to find and enforce a stipulation between the parties for the award of fees.
ANSTEAD, DELL and WALDEN, JJ., concur.
