Head Matter:
Muriel LORTIE and Marie Quimet, a majority of the last surviving Board of Directors of Two Brothers D’Arpino, Inc., a Florida corporation, Appellants, v. Bernard FORTIN, d/b/a Boardwalk Tavern and Samy Botton, Appellees.
No. 82-720.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Nov. 3, 1982.
John J. Murphy of Pallotto, Weir & Hay-son, Hollywood, for appellants.
Daniel B. Bass, Fort Lauderdale, for ap-pellees.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The final judgment appealed from here resulted after a directed verdict based upon the trial court's determination that appellants appropriate remedy was by way of a stockholder's derivative action rather than through an action brought by appellants in their capacities as trustees of a dissolved corporation. We agree. See, e.g., Carothers v. Patton, 288 So.2d 293 (Fla.3d DCA 1973). . We therefore affirm.
AFFIRMED.
ANSTEAD, HERSEY and WALDEN, JJ., concur.
