Opinion of the Court

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL

STATE OF FLORIDA

No. 1D2026-1784

ERMANE SAMUEL ALEXANDRE, Appellant,

v.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, Board of Massage Therapy,

Appellee.

On appeal from the Board of Massage Therapy. Christopher Brooks, Chair.

August 12, 2026

PER CURIAM.

Ermane Samuel Alexandre appeals the Board of Massage Therapy's final order revoking his license to practice massage therapy. He argues that he was not properly served with the administrative complaint and therefore lacked notice and an opportunity to request a hearing. The Department of Health concedes that the Board erred by entering the final order without proper notice. We accept that concession, set aside the final order, and remand for further proceedings. We express no view on the merits of the allegations in the administrative complaint.

LEWIS, RAY, and NEFF, JJ., concur.
