JULIO DE LA ROSA,

    Appellant,

    v.

CHENEY BROTHERS, INC., and
CLARENDON NATIONAL
INSURANCE COMPANY,

    Appellees.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims.
Wilbur W. Anderson, Judge.

Date of Accident: November 18, 2002.

                           April 9, 2019

PER CURIAM.

     In this workers’ compensation case, the Claimant appeals an
order of the Judge of Compensation Claims (“JCC”) denying his
claim for continued palliative care for a November 2002 injury. He
claims the JCC reversibly erred in finding the E/C satisfied its
burden of proving a break in the causal chain and by failing to find
waiver by the E/C under section 440.20(4), Florida Statutes. We
disagree and affirm. See Teco Energy, Inc. v. Williams, 234 So. 3d
816 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017).
    AFFIRMED.

OSTERHAUS, WINOKUR, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.

                _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
               _____________________________

Manuel G. Franco, Tampa, and Bill McCabe, Longwood, for
Appellant.

Appellees.
