In Jean Michel Thelemaque v. Gordon River Hotel Associates LLC d/b/a Bayfront Inn 5th Ave. and Summit, Retailfirst Insurance Company the E/C moved for summary final order against the unrepresented claimant, asserting the petition claims were barred by res judicata. The matter had gone to trial on two separate occasions, and there were no issues upon which jurisdiction was reserved. The current pending issues were impairment benefits, AWW adjustment, medical mileage, attendant care and authorization of an ophthalmologist. The JCC determined that all of these issues were ripe, due and owing at the earlier final hearing and were thus barred. Some of the claims had actually been denied by way of final order. Accordingly, the E/C motion for SFO was GRANTED and the petition was DENIED and DISMISSED with prejudice.
