    Jerome BROWN, Appellant, v. ALLSTATE ELECTRIC and Human Workers’ Compensation Services, Appellees.
    No. 98-1301.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Nov. 17, 1998.
    Jerome Brown, pro se, appellant.
    David R. Terry, Esquire, Tallahassee, for appellees.
   PER CURIAM.

The Judge of Compensation Claims has certified that a transcript of the merits hearing cannot be prepared and the parties are unable to provide a satisfactory substitute for the transcript. Under these circumstances, we find we must reverse and remand the order on appeal for a hearing de novo. See Arnold Lumber Co. v. Harris, 469 So.2d 786 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984).

BOOTH, VAN NORTWICK and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
