November 8, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Arnold R. Ginsberg of Perse, P.A. & Ginsberg, P.A. and Ratiner & Glinn, P.A., Miami, for appellants.

John S. Andrews of Taylor, Brion, Buker & Greene, Ft. Lauderdale, for appellees.

KLEIN, Judge.

The trial court concluded that there is no jurisdiction based on a Florida appellate court decision; however, we conclude that a later United States Supreme Court decision controls and therefore reverse.
