CITY OF SWEETWATER, Appellant, v. Peter A. ZALDIVAR, Appellee.
    No. 91-196.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    April 9, 1991.
    Scott W. Sakin, Miami Beach, for appellant.
    Rodriguez & Fernandez, and J. Rafael Rodriguez, Miami, for appellee.
    Before BASKIN, COPE, and GERSTEN, JJ.
   PER 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.
