Heading: local governmental entity and workmen's compensation carrier

Text: The District Court affirmed the dismissal, with prejudice, of the complaints against the local governmental entity and the workmen's compensation insurance carrier, holding that: As to the City of Miami Beach, it was conceded that there was no liability as to it, based upon the decision of Modlin v. Washington Avenue Food Center, Inc., Fla.App. 1965, 178 So.2d 596, affirmed Modlin v. City of Miami Beach, Fla. 1967, 201 So.2d 70. As to the compensation carrier, having discharged its responsibility under the workmen's compensation act as a result of the death of the deceased, it was discharged from liability. Allen v. Employers Service Corporation, supra. Petitioner has not sought certiorari as to the local governmental entity. Consequently, that part of the decision of the District Court must stand. [14] As to the complaint against the workmen's compensation carrier, we hold that the District Court's affirmance of the trial judge's dismissal of this portion of the complaint, based upon the authority of Allen v. Employers Service Corporation, supra , was proper, and hereby affirm the same. Accordingly, the decision of the District Court of Appeal, Third District, is reversed in part, affirmed in part, and the cause remanded for further proceedings consistent herewith. It is so ordered. The original majority opinion herein has been revised, and the petitions for rehearing are visited to the revised opinion and are hereby denied. It is so ordered. CARLTON, C.J., and ERVIN, ADKINS, McCAIN and DEKLE, JJ., concur.
