Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and HENDRY^_ and JORGENSON, JJ.

_ Judge Hendry did not hear oral argument.

PER CURIAM.

We find no abuse of discretion in the order under review granting a new trial on the well-articulated and fully supported grounds that the jury verdict was contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence and indicated that the jury had been influenced by considerations outside the record. See Ford Motor Co. v. Kikis, 401 So.2d 1341 (Fla. 1981); Cloud v. Fallis, 110 So.2d 669 (Fla. 1959).

Affirmed.
