Opinion
No. QQ-355.
February 13, 1980.
Petition for review from the Judge of Industrial Claims, Rhodes Gay.
Thomas F. Woods of Woods, Johnston Erwin, Tallahassee, for appellant.
Jon D. Caminez, Tallahassee, for appellee.
AFFIRMED.
We note that appellee has not filed a separate motion for attorney's fees, but has instead raised the question of appellate fees in her brief as a point on cross appeal. Under our rules, the proper procedure for requesting appellate attorney's fees is to file a separate motion no later than the time for service of the reply brief. Rule 9.400, Fla.R.App.P. In the future, failure to follow this procedure will result in a denial of the fees requested.
MILLS, C.J., and McCORD and BOOTH, JJ., concur.
