Legal Opinion

City of Sweetwater v. Zaldivar

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided April 9, 1991No. 91-196Published

1Per curiam

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.
