                 _____________________________

                         No. 1D17-4280
                 _____________________________

JOSE GOMEZ-CORTES, M.D.,

    Appellant,

    v.

AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE
ADMINISTRATION,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Agency for Health Care Administration.
Justin M. Senior, Secretary.

                        August 24, 2018

PER CURIAM.

      Appellant contends that the Agency for Health Care
Administration erred when it denied his motion to vacate without
affording him an evidentiary hearing to resolve the factual
question of whether he received sufficient notice of AHCA’s final
orders. We agree. See Reich v. Dep’t of Health, 868 So. 2d 1275,
1276 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004).

     REVERSED and REMANDED.

WOLF, JAY, and WINSOR, JJ., concur.
                _____________________________

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