Seaman v. Zank
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 21, 1980 · Cross, Letts, Moore
385 So. 2d 1; 1980 Fla. App. LEXIS 16209 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Seaman v. Zank

Opinion of the Court

MOORE, Judge.

This cause is affirmed. See Baptist Memorial Hospital, Inc. v. Bell, 384 So.2d 145 (Fla. 1980); Weems v. Dawson, 352 So.2d 1196 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977), cert. denied, 359 So.2d 1221 (Fla. 1978). Although we would prefer a more definitive rule, we cannot say that reasonable men would not differ as to the action taken by the trial judge in granting a motion for new trial. Therefore, the appellant has failed to demonstrate an abuse of discretion.

AFFIRMED.

LETTS, C. J., and SPENCER C. CROSS, Associate Judge, concur.
