Opinion

MILLS, Judge.

We affirm the deputy commissioner’s order finding Hopkins’ injuries noncompensa-ble. Competent and substantial evidence supports the finding that he is not entitled to compensation because his injuries were occasioned primarily by his intoxication or because he was the aggressor in a fight. In either case, Section 440.09(3), Florida Statutes (1983) precludes compensation.

AFFIRMED.

SHIVERS and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.
