No. 89-872.

554 So.2d 649 (1989)

Marvin FAULK, Appellant, v. ROADWAY EXPRESS, INC., Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

December 29, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bill McCabe, of Shepherd, McCabe & Cooley, Longwood, for appellant.

Edward Almeyda, of Almeyda & Hill, Miami, for appellee.


WENTWORTH, Judge.

Claimant seeks review of a workers' compensation order by which a claim for lump sum payment of rehabilitation benefits, to be used to purchase a dump truck in order to establish claimant in a new business enterprise, was denied. We conclude that the judge of compensation claims properly construed the rehabilitation provisions of chapter 440 as not encompassing the requested capital expenditure, and we therefore affirm the order appealed.
