1Opinion of the CourtBenton, J.
Some three years after Cesar Rodas initiated workers’ compensation proceedings in Miami, the parties stipulated to a change of venue from the Miami to the Fort Lauderdale district. The main case had already settled, but attorney’s fees remained to be litigated. The judge of compensation claims treated the stipulation as a motion for change of venue and denied it by order entered January 25, 2007, noting that the case had settled on August 17, 2006, after being “litigated in the Miami District since December 11, 2003.” Mr. Rodas appeals the nonfinal order denying a change of venue.
