¶3PER CURIAM.

¶4AFFIRMED.

¶5WEBSTER and LEWIS, JJ., concur; BROWNING, J., concurring with opinion.

¶6BROWNING, J., concurring.

¶7I concur with the majority opinion, and write only to dispel any thought that the JCC did not err in excluding Doctors Trujillo's and Chambers' depositions at trial. *1093 Such depositions are clearly relevant and admissible. It is not a JCC's prerogative to exclude relevant testimony; such testimony should be received as evidence and then weighed. Here, the JCC impermissibly excluded perfectly relevant, material, and competent evidence. This case is affirmable, only on the basis of harmless error, not that error did not occur.
