No. 97-2284

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

James Resmondo’s claim for permanent total disability benefits was premature. He had neither reached maximum medical improvement nor received ninety-eight weeks of temporary benefits at the time of the final hearing. See City of Pensacola Firefighters v. Oswald, 710 So. 2d 95 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998). We reverse the order awarding permanent total disability benefits and remand with directions that the judge of compensation claims dismiss the petition for benefits without prejudice to the filing of a subsequent petition for permanent total disability benefits if the facts warrant. See Holder v. Keller Kitchen Cabinets, 610 So. 2d 1264, 1267 (Fla.1992) (holding that an order stricken as addressing a premature claim is not res judi-cata as to the merits of the claim).

REVERSED and REMANDED.

BOOTH, BENTON and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.

    …of what the jury “could” do in response to a jury instruction is not the stuff of fundamental error. The law presumes that the jury has followed all of the trial court’s instructions, in the absence of evidence to the contrary. See Sutton v. State, 718 So. 2d 215, 216 n. 1 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998). A proper approach to fundamental error considers the jury instructions as a whole, in the context of the case that was tried; a proper approach does not nitpick at the instructions to manufacture a fundamental error th…
