Margaret June HORNER, Appellant, v. MODERN MOVERS, INC., a Florida corporation, and Joseph L. Sandroni, Individually, Appellees.
    No. 72-744.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Feb. 28, 1973.
    Leonard V. Wood, of Mairs, Wood, Muller & Burroughs, Winter Park, for appellant.
    Vincent P. Collura and Dominic G. Boceo, Orlando, for appellees.
   PER CURIAM.

The trial court decision to set aside a jury award of damages returned for plaintiff and re-try the cause upon the issue of damages only is amply supported by the record and the trial court reasoning. Pittman v. Smith, Fla.App. 1971, 252 So.2d 279; Martin v. Stone, Fla.1951, 51 So.2d 33. While there is a suggestion that the appealed order is ambiguous as to whether the trial court intended to also re-try the liability issues, we do not so view it and are of the opinion that the order correctly limited itself to a reversal of only the award of damages.

Affirmed.

WALDEN, CROSS and OWEN, JJ., concur.
