Head Matter:
Warren WALKER, etc., et al, Appellants, v. PALM BEACH NEWSPAPERS, INC., Appellee.
No. 87-2278.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
March 15, 1990.
On Motion to Certify Question June 14, 1990.
Michael P. Maguire of Maguire & Friend, Coral Gables, Edward Campbell, Palm Beach Gardens, and Marjorie Gadarian Graham, West Palm Beach, for appellants.
John P. Wiederhold and Lawrence I. Bass, of Wiederhold, Moses & Bulfin, P.A., West Palm Beach, and Dow, Lohnes & Albertson, Washington, D.C., for appellee.

Opinion:
GOSHORN, Judge.
The dispositive issue in this appeal concerns the correctness of the trial court's order directing a verdict for Palm Beach Newspapers, Inc., after finding that the newspaper's home delivery carrier, Samuel Turner, was an independent contractor and not its employee. This case is factually analogous to Miami Herald Publishing Company v. Kendall, 88 So.2d 276 (Fla.1956) and we affirm on its authority.
The remaining two issues raised by appellant are without merit.
AFFIRMED.
COBB, J., concurs.
W. SHARP, J., concurs specially with opinion.
