CONCORD SHOPPING CENTER, INC., A FLORIDA CORPORATION, APPELLANT,
v.
ROBERT S. BOOKBINDER, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 1969-11-12
No. 69-189
Before PEARSON, C. J., and BARK-DULL and SWANN, JJ.
227 So. 2d 888 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1969) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The principal point on this appeal urges that the trial court erred in denying defendant-appellant’s motion for a new trial. The only ground for new trial argued is that an altercation which occurred outside the courtroom may have influenced the jury verdict. See Owens v. State, 68 Fla. 154, 67 So. 39 (1914).

A review of the record demonstrates that the trial judge made full inquiry of the jury prior to their discharge. From the *889replies of the jurors it is clear that no prejudice to the appellant resulted. Cf. First Nat. Bank in Tarpon Springs v. Bliss, Fla. 1952, 56 So.2d 922.

Affirmed.
