    William L. VENERO, Appellant, v. WINN DIXIE STORES, INC., and Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission, Appellees.
    No. 3D02-529.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Sept. 25, 2002.
    William L. Venero, in proper person.
    John D. Maher (Tallahassee), for appel-lees.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GODERICH and GREEN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

We affirm the order entered by the Unemployment Appeals Commission dismissing the appellant’s appeal of the denial of unemployment benefits as untimely where the record unequivocally demonstrates that the appellant failed to take an appeal within 20 days after the mailing and/or delivery of the notice of denial of benefits as prescribed by section 443.151(3)(a), Florida Statutes (2001) and Florida Administrative Code Rule 38E-5.007.

Affirmed.
