No. 84-1704.

457 So.2d 591 (1984)

Ross HANCOCK, Individually, Appellant, v. Frank CRIPPEN and Dorothy Crippen, His Wife, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

October 16, 1984.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Parkhurst & Carlson and Grafton N. Carlson, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Quinton, Lummus, Dunwody & Adams and Kenneth J. Carusello, Miami, for appellees.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and BARKDULL and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.


SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.

Hancock is a resident of Volusia County who was joined as a co-defendant with two Florida corporations in a Dade County lawsuit arising out of causes of action which accrued in Broward County. He appeals from an order denying his motion to dismiss for improper venue. We affirm because the appellant did not demonstrate that the co-defendants were not "residents" of Dade County within the meaning of Section 47.051, Florida Statutes (1983).
