Mark CREAMER and Claudia Creamer, Appellants, v. Scott CRANE, Appellee.
    No. 91-3097.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Dec. 9, 1992.
    Marshall J. Osofsky of Lewis, Vegosen and Rosenbach, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellants.
    Lawrence Schechterman of Lawrence Schechterman, P.A., Boca Raton, for appel-lee.
   PER CURIAM.

Reversed and remanded for an evidentia-ry hearing on the authority of Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. v. Melamed, 425 So.2d 127 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982), rev. denied, 433 So.2d 519 (Fla.1983).

LETTS and FARMER, JJ., concur.

ANSTEAD, J., concurring specially.

ANSTEAD, Judge,

concurring specially.

Because I see no basis alleged in the record for compelling the appellants, who were not parties to the contract in dispute, to arbitrate their disputes with the appel-lees, I would reverse and remand with directions that the motion to compel arbitration be denied as to appellants. See Federated Title Insurers, Inc. v. Ward, 538 So.2d 890 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989).
