577 So. 2d 701 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 91-196.

April 9, 1991.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Martin Greenbaum, Judge.

Scott W. Sakin, Miami Beach, for appellant.

Rodriguez Fernandez, and J. Rafael Rodriguez, Miami, for appellee.

Before BASKIN, COPE, and GERSTEN, JJ.


Appellant, City of Sweetwater, appeals from an order setting aside a default judgment and a final order of forfeiture. We affirm.

The decision of a trial court to set aside a default should not be disturbed on appeal unless there is not only an abuse of discretion, but a "gross" abuse. Crawford v. American Household Storage Company of Florida, 509 So.2d 1358 (Fla. 4th DCA), rev. denied, 518 So.2d 1274 (Fla. 1987).

We find no such abuse. Accordingly, we affirm.
