Head Matter:
Joseph ROSENKRANTZ, Appellant, v. John R. SUTTON, Appellee.
No. 79-1749.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
June 10, 1980.
Joseph Rosenkrantz and Stuart H. Abramson, Miami Beach, for appellant.
Bartel & Shuford and Stanley Jay Bartel, Miami, for appellee.
Before BARKDULL, HUBBART and SCHWARTZ, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The final order under review [which construed a written stipulation settling a lawsuit between the parties] is affirmed upon a holding that the trial court reasonably construed and applied paragraph 14 of said stipulation to entitle the appellee John R. Sutton to 10% of the 40% contingent fee receivable from the client for legal repre sentation at trial in a certain case, which construction we are not disposed to reverse based on the legal principles stated in Hall v. Hall, 135 So.2d 432, 433 (Fla. 3d DCA 1961).
