Elizabeth ANTON, a/k/a Elizabeth La Rossa, Appellant, v. DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATION, State of Florida DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Appellee.
    No. 74-753.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Feb. 11, 1975.
    Bretan, Marks, Attias & Raskin, Miami, for appellant.
    Geoffrey B. Dobson and Winifred Sheridan Smallwood, Tallahassee, for appellee.
    Before PEARSON and HENDRY, JJ., and CHARLES CARROLL (Ret.), Associate Judge.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant La Rossa urges on this appeal that she should be granted a new trial in an eminent domain proceeding where she considers the jury award for her property to be insufficient. She urges that a new trial is in order because the court too severely limited cross-examination by the landowner’s attorney of the condemning authority’s witnesses. We have read the record and find that it does not support a holding of prejudicial error. There were full and complete cross-examinations of the expert witness and it is our conclusion that prejudicial error does not appear under the rule stated in Dabney v. Yapa, Fla.App. 1966, 187 So.2d 381.

Affirmed.
