Walter D. MARKHAM, Appellant, v. FLORIDA UNEMPLOYMENT APPEALS COMMISSION, etc., et al., Appellees.
No. 3D09-1985.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Nov. 17, 2010.
Walter D. Markham, in proper person.
M. Elaine Howard, Deputy General Counsel, for Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission.
Before RAMIREZ, C.J., and GERSTEN and SALTER, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Walter D. Markham appeals the Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission's final order affirming the decision of the Unemployment Compensation Appeals Referee dismissing Markham's appeal as untimely filed. We affirm, as the claimant did not appeal the decision until after the 20-day statutory time limit had expired. See § 443.151(3)(a), Fla. Stat. (2009). Accordingly, the Appeals Referee was legally bound to dismiss the appeal.
Affirmed.
