    Rehearing Denied March 14, 1986.

    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and BASKIN and FERGUSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Upon consideration of the appeal and cross-appeal, we affirm the Final Judgment and post-trial orders. Appellant failed to demonstrate the existence of evident partiality on the part of the neutral arbitrator. § 682.13, Fla.Stat. (1983). Under these circumstances, we decline to apply Gaines Construction Co. v. Carol City Utilities, Inc., 164 So.2d 270 (Fla. 3d DCA 1964), aff'd, 180 So.2d 213 (Fla.1965).

Affirmed.
