Head Matter:
Enrique ACOSTA, Appellant, v. Louise ACOSTA, Appellee.
Nos. 82-696, 82-923 and 82-982.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Feb. 1, 1983.
James F. Dougherty, II, Miami, for appellant.
Jill D. Touby, Miami, for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and BASKIN and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.

Opinion:
SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.
By virtue both of the controlling- and unanimous cases, e.g., Erspan v. Badgett, 659 F.2d 26 (5th Cir.1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 945, 102 S.Ct. 1443, 71 L.Ed.2d 658 (1982) and a subsequently enacted statute, the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act, 10 U.S.C. 1408(c)(1) (1982), the Supreme Court decision in McCarty v. McCarty, 453 U.S. 210, 101 S.Ct. 2728, 69 L.Ed.2d 589 (1981) may not be retroactively applied. We therefore reject the appellant's primary contention. His other points merit neither reversal nor discussion.
Affirmed.
