C. Christopher Anderson, III, General Counsel, and Steven J. Zuilkowski, Attorney, Florida Commission on Ethics, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
Per Curiam.
Appellant, Marcos Villanueva, appeals a Final Order and Public Report entered by Appellee, the Florida Commission on Ethics, wherein the Commission determined that Appellant, a city commission candidate at the time of his filings, violated section 112.3145, Florida Statutes (2016), by failing to state the manner of calculating his reportable interests in his Statement of Financial Interests and in his Amendment to Statement of Financial Interests for the year 2016. Finding no merit in Appellant's arguments on appeal, we affirm. See Robinson v. Comm'n on Ethics , 242 So. 3d 467, 470-71 (Fla. 1st DCA 2018) (explaining that factual findings of the Commission in a final order and public report are reviewed for competent, substantial evidence, legal conclusions are reviewed de novo, and recommended penalties are reviewed for an abuse of discretion).
AFFIRMED .
Lewis, Winokur, and Jay, JJ., concur.
