PER CURIAM.
We find no merit in the five issues raised by appellants before this court on appeal. We write, however, to dispose of a sixth issue raised for the first time in appellants’ reply brief.
An issue raised for the first time on appeal in appellants’ reply brief, even though properly preserved for appeal, will not be considered by this court. St. Regis Paper Co. v. R.D. Hill, 198 So. 2d 365 (Fla. 1st DCA 1967); Pursell v. Sumter Electric Co-Operative, 169 So. 2d 515 (Fla. 2d DCA 1964). Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.210(d) provides that a reply brief "shall contain argument in response and rebuttal to argument presented in the answer brief.” Without strict adherence to this rule, the appellees are left unable to respond in writing to new issues presented by the appellants, and the filing deadline imposed on the appellants for their initial brief is rendered meaningless.
AFFIRMED.

Appellants’ reply brief denies that they received the order, however, an issue not raised in an initial brief is deemed abandoned and may not be raised for the first time in a reply brief. Snyder v. Volkswagen of America, Inc., 574 So. 2d 1161 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991). Thus, appellants cannot argue to this court that they did not receive the compensation order. Therefore, once deemed received, appellants’ failure to appeal also requires us to hold that the compensation order had become final b…
