PER CURIAM.
The trial court correctly set aside the jury verdict and entered judgment in accordance with the appellee’s prior motion for directed verdict when the only evidence as to the alleged slippery condition of the stairway, testimony by appellants’ expert witness, was stricken when it was discovered that the expert’s friction coefficient tests were conducted on the wrong stairwell.
