Halpin v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission

JOANOS, Judge.

This is an appeal from an order of the Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission (UAC) affirming an appeals referee’s decision to deny appellant Ronald N. Hal-pin’s claim for unemployment compensation benefits. Appellant challenges the order on two grounds: first, he contends there is a lack of competent substantial evidence to support the decision; and second, he contends the appeals referee’s failure to grant his motion to compel discovery constituted an abuse of discretion. We reverse in part.
