Appellees.

                        ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

PER CURIAM.

      In light of the Florida Supreme Court’s decision in Westphal v. City of St.

Petersburg, 194 So. 3d 311 (Fla. 2016), Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing filed June

9, 2016, is granted, and our opinion rendered June 7, 2016, is withdrawn. This matter
is remanded to the Judge of Compensation Claims (JCC) for reconsideration

consistent with Westphal. The JCC also shall determine whether additional defenses

asserted by the Appellees, if any, are appropriately raised and resolved under the

circumstances of this case and the material change in the law represented

by Westphal.

      REVERSED and REMANDED.
