Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the order dismissing (as untimely filed) Glen McDaniel’s administrative appeal of his discharge from employment by the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority, because the order on appeal fails to comply with the mandates of section 120.59(4), Florida Statutes (1993).¹ The cause is remanded with instructions to hear McDaniel’s administrative appeal on the merits. Bryant v. Department of Health & Rehabilitative Servs., 680 So.2d 1144 (Fla. 3d DCA1996).

Reversed and remanded.
