District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District

151 So. 2d 866 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1963)

Opinion

No. 62-533.

April 16, 1963.

Appeal from the Civil Court of Record for Dade County, David J. Heffernan, J.

Kovner Mannheimer, Miami, and Morton R. Goudiss, Miami Beach, for appellant.

Von Zamft Kravitz, Miami, for appellees.

Before PEARSON, TILLMAN, C.J., and CARROLL and HENDRY, JJ.


Defendant, counterplaintiff, appeals a final judgment for plaintiff entered after a non-jury trial. He bases his appeal on (1) the refusal of the trial judge to admit a certain letter into evidence, and (2) alleged prejudicial remarks by appellees' trial counsel.

The refusal to admit the letter proffered is sustained upon authority of Green v. Hood, Fla.App. 1960, 120 So.2d 223, 227. The alleged prejudicial remarks, having been made during a non-jury trial, are not of sufficient weight to require reversal.

Affirmed.
