Opinion

Case No. 4D02-1022

Opinion filed November 20, 2002

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Catherine M. Brunson, Judge; L.T. No. CL 99-10753 AH.

J. Alfredo De Armas of Alvarez, Armas Borron, Coral Gables, for appellants.

John B.T. Murray, Jr., and C. Cory Mauro of Steel Hector Davis LLP, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm the final judgment of the circuit court granting default judgment in favor of appellee, R.A. Investments Limited and against appellants Merrill and Raymond MacDonald. The final judgment requires appellants, as sellers, to perform certain preliminary acts called for in the contract between the parties for the sale of real property located in the Bahamas. As appellee conceded at oral argument, the final judgment does not purport to, and cannot, require the transfer of title to, or the conveyance of, property located in the Bahamas. See Ruth v. Dep't of Legal Affairs, 684 So.2d 181 (Fla. 1996); State, Dep't of Natural Res. v. Antioch Univ., 533 So.2d 869, 872 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988); McMullen v. McMullen, 122 So.2d 626 (Fla. 2d DCA 1960).

AFFIRMED.

KLEIN, STEVENSON and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.

NOT FINAL UNTIL THE DISPOSITION OF ANY TIMELY FILED MOTION FOR REHEARING.
