Florida District Courts of Appeal, 1989

Ballard v. Ballard

Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 11, 1989 · Hersey, Polen, Stone

551 So. 2d 567; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 2376; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 5700; 1989 WL 118639 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a non-final order transferring venue from Palm Beach County to Santa Rosa County. The trial court has broad discretion in dealing with issues of venue. Groome v. Abrams, 448 So.2d 82 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984). Appellant has failed to meet his burden of showing an abuse of that discretion. Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So.2d 1150 (Fla. 1979).

Accordingly, the order of the trial court transferring venue is affirmed.

HERSEY, C.J., and STONE and POLEN, JJ., concur.
