Daniel J. FINLEY and Dorothy Finley, Appellants, v. FOUNTAINEBLEAU HOTEL CORPORATION, Cosmopolitan Mutual Insurance Company, Appellees.
    No. 80-1752.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    May 19, 1981.
    James A. McSwigan, Palm Beach, Edna L. Caruso, West Palm Beach, for appellants.
    Preddy, Kutner & Hardy and G. William Bissett, Miami, for appellees.
    Before HUBBART, C. J., and SCHWARTZ and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The plaintiff was a guest at the Foun-tainebleau Hotel. He was injured when a taxicab he was entering at the front of the hotel, which had been summoned by a Fountainebleau employee, prematurely started before he had seated himself. We agree with the trial court that, as a matter of law, the hotel bore no liability for the accident. See, Jackson v. Pike, 87 So.2d 410 (Fla.1956); Foley v. Hialeah Race Course, Inc., 53 So.2d 771 (Fla.1951). The summary judgment entered in its favor below is therefore

Affirmed.
