No. 78-1973.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Jan. 31, 1979.
Richard A. Sherman of Wicker, Smith, Blomqvist, Davant, McMath, Tutan & O’Hara, Miami, for appellant.
J. Patrick Floyd of Pyszka, Kessler & Adams, Miami, for appellee L. C. Boggs Industries, Inc.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Before us is a motion to dismiss an appeal commenced by one co-defendant who seeks review of a final judgment exonerating another co-defendant from liability. On the authority of Christian et al. v. Popovich et al., 363 So.2d 2 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978) and Sol Walker & Co. v. Seaboard Coast Line R. Co., 362 So.2d 45 (Fla. 2d DCA 1978) the motion to dismiss is denied.
In so ruling we hold that the right of one co-defendant to appeal a judgment which exonerates another co-defendant is inherently implied in Florida's Contribution Act, Section 768.31, Florida Statutes (1977).
LETTS, MOORE and BERANEK, JJ., concur.
