    Affirmed. See R.C. Storage One, Inc. v. Strand Realty, Inc., 714 So. 2d

presumptively correct, and a defendant bears the burden to prove that a
trial in the county in which the action was filed would work a substantial
inconvenience to it, and to witnesses” and affirming a venue determination
where the defendant’s “affidavits failed to disclose any information as to
the necessity, relevance or significance of the evidence to be presented by
these witnesses”).

TAYLOR, CIKLIN and FORST, JJ., concur.

                           *          *          *

   Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
