ROBERT LEE JONES, PETITIONER-CROSS-RESPONDENT,
v.
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH ET AL., RESPONDENTS-CROSS-PETITIONER

Fla. | 1966-09-21
No. 35293
THORNALL, C. J., and ROBERTS, DREW, O’CONNELL and ERVIN, JJ., concur.
190 So. 2d 323 Florida Supreme Court (1966) Caution
Cited by 8 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

By petition and cross-petition for a writ of certiorari we have for review an order of the Florida Industrial Commission bearing date February 23, 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 cross-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 cross-petition is also denied.

Petitioner Robert Lee Jones’ petition for attorneys fees is granted in the amount of $250.00 for successfully defending against the cross-petition.

THORNALL, C. J., and ROBERTS, DREW, O’CONNELL and ERVIN, JJ., concur.
