Head Matter:
Carlos MEJIAS, Appellant, v. SHELBOURNE OCEAN BEACH HOTEL CONDOMINIUN, INC., Appellee.
No. 3D10-2360.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Oct. 26, 2011.
Robert P. Bissonnette, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.
Cole, Scott & Kissane and Scott A. Cole, Key West and Kristen A. Tajak, Miami, for appellee.
Before RAMIREZ, CORTINAS, and FERNANDEZ, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. Given that the standard of review for a motion for continuance is abuse of discretion, see Cargile-Schrage v. Schrage, 908 So.2d 528, 529 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005) ("[N]o judge in his right mind would have denied the continuance."), it certainly was not an abuse of discretion for the trial court to deny a continuance in a case that had been pending for ten years.
