FINAL ORDER
THIS CAUSE concerns a Petition for Administrative Hearing ("Petition") that the
Petitioner filed with AHCA on July 16, 2007.
On July 20, 2007, AHCA forwarded the Petition to the Division of Administrative
Hearings for assignment of an Administrative Law Judge.
On June 26, 2008, the presiding officer entered an Order granting the Respondent's
Motion to Dismiss or to Close DOAH File. The Order incorporated AHCA's Motion by reference
as though fully set forth in the Order, and such Motion recited the several bases and fact
allegations upon which dismissal of the Petition is appropriate — particularly the Petitioners’
failure to file any responsive pleading(s) to the numerous dispositive motions filed in this case to
date; and failure or refusal to comply with any of the several Orders entered by the presiding
officer, including the Order entered June 2, 2008 granting AHCA's Second Motion for Order to
Show Cause.
AHCA is bound by administrative stare decisis to follow the AHCA Final Order that was
entered April 18, 2008, in Southeast Personnel Leasing, Inc. and Lion Insurance Company v.
AHCA and Holmes Regional Medical Center, Inc., AHCA Case No. 07-367PH (formerly DOAH
Case No.: 07-3364) wherein it was determined that the per diem schedule with stop-loss that

was adopted by the three-member panel and was applied by AHCA in this case does not
conflict with section 440,13(12), Florida Statutes.
Based on the forgoing,
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:
The Petition for Administrative Hearing is dismissed with prejudice and the Agency's
Determination is hereby upheld. Petitioner shall remit payment to the hospital of the amount
determined in AHCA's Determination dated June 19, 2007. Petitioner shall submit proof of the
amount paid to: Ms. Twan Jackson, Workers' Compensation Medical Services Unit, c/o
Department of Financial Services, 200 East Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4232
DONE and ORDERED this of 7tiay of , 02Z/2G _in Tallahassee,
