Opinion

No. 86-2541.

May 12, 1987. Rehearing Denied June 16, 1987.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Mario Goderich, Judge.

Sidney L. Syna, Miami, for appellant.

Howard M. Neu, North Miami, for appellee.

Before DANIEL S. PEARSON, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

There was no showing by clear and convincing evidence that the now-deceased petitioner, in an action to dissolve a marriage, failed to make the required diligent search and inquiry essential to the validity of constructive service. We, therefore, will not disturb the trial court's determination that the judgment of dissolution was properly entered. Gravel v. Bailey, 187 So.2d 667 (Fla. 3d DCA 1966).

Affirmed.
