Carlos A. Acosta appeals a decision by the Unemployment Appeals Commission that overturned an appeals referee's award of unemployment compensation benefits. The court reverses the Commission's decision, determining that Acosta's actions constituted an isolated incident of poor judgment rather than "misconduct" as defined in section 443.036(26) of the Florida Statutes (1995). The ruling references the case of Bulkan v. Florida Unemployment Comm’n, 648 So.2d 846 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995) to support this conclusion.
