EAST LAKE DRYWALL AND CLAIMS CENTER, APPELLEES
ROBERT OAKLEY, APPELLANT,
EAST LAKE DRYWALL AND CLAIMS CENTER, APPELLEES
641 So. 2d 515
Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1994)
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
The issue of whether claimant was entitled to benefits as a statutory employee, pursuant to sections 440.02(13)(c) and 440.10(1), Florida Statutes, was not raised before the judge of compensation claims (JCC), and therefore not properly raised for the first time on appeal. Cooley v. McCallister, 468 So. 2d 488 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985). The JCC’s determination that the claimant was an independent contractor is supported by competent substantial evidence, and is affirmed.
ERVIN, WOLF and KAHN, JJ., concur.
