    Edward WHITE, Appellant, v. PINEBREEZE FARMS, INC. and Florida Farm Bureau Insurance Company, Appellees.
    No. SS-476.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Oct. 30, 1980.
    Wm. Wade Hampton, Gainesville, for appellant.
    R. Dennis Comfort, of Jones & Langdon, Gainesville, for appellees.
   PER CURIAM.

We affirm the order of the deputy commissioner holding that appellant was an independent contractor and therefore not eligible for workmen’s compensation benefits from appellees.

So affirming the deputy commissioner’s finding that appellant was an independent contractor at the time of his injury, we hold that the issue raised in the cross-appeal is moot.

LARRY G. SMITH and SHIVERS, JJ., and MASON, ERNEST E. (Circuit Judge, Retired), Associate Judge, concur.
