No. 1D04-3536.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Aug. 19, 2005.
Woodburn S. Wesley of Woodburn S. Wesley & Assoc., Ft. Walton Beach, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee.
Mary L. Wakeman of McConnaughhay, Duffy, Coonrod, Pope & Weaver, P.A., Tallahassee, for Appellees/Cross-Appellants.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The claimant is not entitled to recover workers' compensation benefits from the employer/carrier because the claimant filed a valid notice of election to be exempt from the provisions of chapter 440, Florida Statutes. See Battle v. Gentry, 898 So.2d 263 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005); § 440.10(1), Fla. Stat. (2002). Therefore, the JCC's ruling is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
KAHN, C.J., BARFIELD and DAVIS, JJ., concur.
