Opinion filed December 3, 2014.

An appeal from an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims.
John J. Lazzara, Judge.

Date of Accident: April 9, 2009.

Kimberly A. Hill of Kimberly A. Hill, P.L., Fort Lauderdale, for Appellant.

H. George Kagan of Miller, Kagan, Rodriguez & Silver, P.L., West Palm Beach, for
Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

      In this workers’ compensation case, Claimant appeals a summary final order

dismissing his claims for permanent total disability (PTD) benefits under Florida

Administrative Code Rule 60Q-6.116(2) (the “two-dismissal” rule) which states that
a second voluntary dismissal operates as an adjudication on the merits. Because our

review of the record reveals no evidence of any voluntary dismissals, we REVERSE

and REMAND for further proceedings on the pending PTD claims.

BENTON, CLARK, and ROWE, JJ., CONCUR.
