Jackson v. Lester
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 25, 1977 · Drew, Harris, Hendry, Nathan, Ret
341 So. 2d 839; 1977 Fla. App. LEXIS 15159 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Jackson v. Lester

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This appeal questions the correctness of a summary final judgment entered in favor of appellee in a malpractice action arising out of a doctor-patient relationship. Appellant’s second point charges that the court erred in denying appellant’s motion to transfer the cause from Monroe County to *840Dade County contrary to a signed stipulation by the parties.

Upon careful consideration of the record on appeal, briefs and arguments of counsel we have concluded that the appellee-de-fendant has conclusively established the absence of a genuine issue of material fact and that he was entitled to a summary judgment as a matter of law.

We further hold that the trial judge did not abuse his discretion in refusing to transfer the cause to Dade County.

Affirmed.
