ALEXANDRE v. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (2026)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Ermane Samuel ALEXANDRE, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, Board of Massage Therapy, Appellee.

No. 1D2026-1784

Decided: August 12, 2026

Ermane Samuel Alexandre, pro se, Appellant. Sarah Young Hodges, Chief Appellate Counsel, Florida Department of Health, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Ermane Samuel Alexandre appeals the Board of Massage Therapy's final order revoking his license to practice massage therapy. He argues that he was not properly served with the administrative complaint and therefore lacked notice and an opportunity to request a hearing. The Department of Health concedes that the Board erred by entering the final order without proper notice. We accept that concession, set aside the final order, and remand for further proceedings. We express no view on the merits of the allegations in the administrative complaint.

Per Curiam.

Lewis, Ray, and Neff, JJ., concur.
