Head Matter:
SEMINOLE TRIBE OF FLORIDA, a federally recognized Indian tribe, Appellant, v. Mary F. THORSEN and Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission, Appellees.
No. 2D99-3236.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
June 21, 2000.
Donald A. Orlovsky of Kamen & Orlov-sky, P.A., West Palm Beach, for Appellant.
John D. Maher, Tallahassee, for Appel-lee Unemployment Appeals Commission.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant challenges the findings of the Unemployment Appeals Commission that it is obligated to pay unemployment compensation benefits to appellee Mary F. Thorsen. We affirm.
Appellant first argues that it is exempt by reason of sovereign immunity from coverage under Florida's unemployment compensation statute. This issue has not been preserved as it was not sufficiently raised below.
Appellant also argues that Thorsen was properly discharged for misconduct. We affirm that issue on the basis of Gulf County School Board v. Washington, 567 So.2d 420 (Fla.1990).
Affirmed.
CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and PARKER and STRINGER, JJ., Concur.
