IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA RALPH M. HANSEN, JR., P.E., Appellant, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOT ION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF, IF FILED. CASE NO. 1D02-2614 v. FLORIDA ENGINEERS MANAGEMENT CORPORATION, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed July 11, 2003. An appeal from an order of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Board of Professional Engineers. Robert D. Newell, Jr., of Newell & Terry, P.A., Tallahassee, Attorneys for Appellant. Douglas D. Sunshine, Tallahassee, Attorney for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Appellant appeals the revocation of his professional engineering license in Florida and a $5,000 fine imposed by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers and on file with the Florida Engineers Management Corporation. Appellee concedes that the $5,000 penalty imposed exceeded the monetary penalty allowed under the statute under which Appellant was charged. Accordingly, we agree with Appellee that the penalty should be reduced to $3,000, the maximum penalty permissible. Appellant s other issues on appeal are without merit. We therefore reverse and remand to the Board for entry of a Final Order correcting the administrative fine to $3,000. The revocation of Appellant s license is affirmed. AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED. BOOTH, BARFIELD, and ALLEN, JJ., CONCUR. 2
