JULIO DE LA ROSA,

Appellant,

v.

CHENEY BROTHERS, INC., and

INSURANCE COMPANY,

Appellees.
_____________________________

On appeal from an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims.
Wilbur W. Anderson, Judge.

Date of Accident: November 18, 2002.

April 9, 2019

PER CURIAM.

In this workers’ compensation case, the Claimant appeals an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims (“JCC”) denying his claim for continued palliative care for a November 2002 injury. He claims the JCC reversibly erred in finding the E/C satisfied its burden of proving a break in the causal chain and by failing to find waiver by the E/C under section 440.20(4), Florida Statutes. We disagree and affirm. See Teco Energy, Inc. v. Williams, 234 So. 3d 816 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017).

AFFIRMED. OSTERHAUS, WINOKUR, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
