Affirmed. See Stanton v. Fla. Dept of Health, 129 So. 3d 1083 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013) (reaffirming that when a whistle-blower complaint does not meet the prima facie elements necessary to initiate operation of the Whistle-blowers Act, the Florida Commission on Human Relations has no authority to proceed with a fact-finding investigation); Washington v. Fla. Dept of Revenue, 337 So. 3d 502 (Fla. 1st DCA 2022) (holding that a protected disclosure must be a written and signed complaint in order to trigger the protections of the Whistle-blowers Act when a complainant has not claimed to have participated in an investigation or to have made a complaint through a hot-line).

Per Curiam.
