## Opinion text

PER CURIAM.
Zebranek timely appeals from an order of the Board of Osteopathic Medicine (“Board”) that denied his petition to lift the suspension of his license to practice osteopathic medicine in Florida. The Board had concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider Zebranek’s petition because Zebranek had not timely appealed from the initial order of suspension.
Subsequently, pursuant to the parties’ joint motion, this court relinquished jurisdiction to the Division of Administrative Hearings (“DOAH”) with instructions that DOAH conduct an evidentiary hearing to determine when Zebranek received notice of the Board’s order of suspension. The DOAH administrative judge found that the Board’s order of suspension had been mailed to the wrong address and that Ze-branek had not otherwise received timely notice of the Board’s order. Neither party has contested DOAH’s findings. Accordingly, the Board had jurisdiction to consider Zebranek’s petition. Reich v. Dep’t of Health, 868 So.2d 1275 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004). The Board’s order denying Zebranek’s petition is hereby quashed.
Order QUASHED; REMANDED.
GRIFFIN, SAWAYA and EVANDER, JJ., concur.
