Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the final order granting summary judgment in favor of Prudential Insurance Company upon a holding that there did exist material issues of fact for jury consideration. Travelers Insurance Company v. Zimmerman, 309 So. 2d 569 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975).

The affirmative defense of fraud is usually considered a jury question and is not ordinarily appropriate for summary judgment proceedings. Hermes v. Anton, 300 So. 2d 46 (Fla. 3d DCA 1974); Automobile Sales, Inc. v. Federated Mutual Implement and Hardware Insurance Company, 256 So. 2d 386 (Fla. 3d DCA 1972).

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
