Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
In the instant case, we find that the trial court abused its discretion by granting a new trial on damages where the jury's verdict was not contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence. Smith v. Brown, 525 So.2d 868, 870 (Fla.1988).
Reversed and remanded for reinstatement of the jury's verdict and entry of a final judgment consistent therewith.
