Fla. | 1966-07-27
No. 35378
THORNAL, C. J., and DREW, O’CON-NELL, CALDWELL and ERVIN, JJ., concur.
189 So. 2d 624 Florida Supreme Court (1966) Caution

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

By petition for a writ of certiorari we have for review an order of the Florida Industrial Commission bearing date March 21, 1966.

We find that oral argument would serve no useful purpose and it is therefore dispensed with pursuant to Florida Appellate Rule 3.10, subd. e, 31 F.S.A.

Our consideration of the petition, the record and briefs leads us to conclude that there has been no deviation from the essential requirements of law.

The petition is therefore denied.

The petition for allowance of attorney’s fees is hereby granted in the amount of $250.00.

THORNAL, C. J., and DREW, O’CON-NELL, CALDWELL and ERVIN, JJ., concur.

See Stevens Markets, Inc. v. Markantonatos, 189 So. 2d 624 (Fla.1966).”). V.
