Frank McGOEY, Appellant, v. SUN TOBACCO, INC., Appellee.
    No. 3D06-353.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Nov. 1, 2006.
    Robert H. Cooper, Aventura, for appellant.
    Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alha-deff & Sitterson and Kelly R. Melchiondo, Miami, for appellee.
    Before GREEN, FLETCHER, and CORTINAS, JJ.
   CORTINAS, Judge.

This is an appeal of final judgment after a non-jury trial. We affirm the trial court’s granting of appellee’s motion to strike appellant’s demand for a jury trial and, instead, proceed to a bench trial. Where, as here, the right or remedy is equitable in nature, there is no right to a jury trial. Robbins v. Section 3 Prop. Corp., 609 So.2d 670, 671 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992) (citations omitted), approved, 632 So.2d 596 (Fla.1993).

Affirmed.
