Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Ireneo Racoma, Jr., M.D., and Franklin, Favata & Hulls, M.D.'s, P.A., appeal from the order granting Steffan L. Hannans a new trial after a jury rendered a verdict in favor of Dr. Racoma in an action for medical malpractice. We conclude that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering a new trial, and accordingly, we reverse and remand with directions to the trial court to reinstate the jury's verdict. See § 59.041, Fla. Stat. (2005) (stating that "[n]o judgment shall be set aside or reversed, or new trial granted by any court of the state in any cause . unless in the opinion of the court . after an examination of the entire case it shall appear that the error complained of has resulted in a miscarriage of justice.").
Reversed and remanded.
FULMER, SILBERMAN, and KELLY, JJ., Concur.
