Anna E. LAKE and Edwin Lake, her husband, Appellants, v. Bernhardt R. STIEGLER, Jr., and Peoples Gas System, a Florida corporation, Appellees.
    No. 63-87.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida. Third District.
    Oct. 15, 1963.
    Rehearing Denied Oct. 30, 1963.
    Rothstein & Tumin, Miami, for appellants.
    Wicker, Smith, Blomqvist, Hinckley & Davant, Miami, for appellees.
    Before BARKDULL, C. J., and HORTON and HENDRY, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The appellant, plaintiff in the trial court, appeals an adverse summary judgment, contending that there was a material issue of fact to be presented to the jury as to whether or not the appellee negligently operated a motor vehicle under his control.

An examination of the record fails to demonstrate that the appellee acted other than as a reasonable person under the emergency circumstances created by the appellant-driver. Therefore, no error has been made to appear in the entry of the summary judgment. See: Harper v. Mangel, Fla.App.1963, 151 So.2d 346.

Affirmed.
