administrative determination (hearing) under sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes.
Any subsequent intervention will only be at the approval of the presiding officer upon motion
filed pursuant to Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C.

Any subsequent intervention will only be at the approval of the presiding officer upon motion
filed pursuant to Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C.
