Head Matter:
Ruth PEREZ, Appellant, v. Sherrie D. BYRD, Appellee.
No. 96-307.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Nov. 1, 1996.
Gregory J. Donoghue of Kane, Williams, Singer, Planck, Donoghue & Clark, P.A, Rockledge, for Appellant.
Karla T. Torpy of Graham, Moletteire & Tuttle, P.A., Merritt Island, for Appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The only meritorious issue raised is the correctness of the trial court's order granting mistrial based upon a witness's statement indicating that the Plaintiff had received a traffic citation. The trial court found that the gratuitous comment was a clear implication of the Plaintiffs fault and granted a mistrial. We affirm. See Spanagel v. Love, 585 So.2d 317 (Fla. 5th DCA 1991).
COBB, W. SHARP and GOSHORN, JJ., concur.
