Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gregory A. Samms and Samia P. Giddings, Certified Legal Intern, Miami, for appellant.

Greenberg, Traurig, Hoffman, Lipoff, Rosen & Quentel and Charles M. Auslander; Robin H. Greene; Rosemarie S. Roth, Miami, for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and BASKIN and GERSTEN, JJ.


BASKIN, Judge.

We affirm the order denying the maternal granduncle's motion for change in custody of the dependent child. The trial court based its ruling on competent substantial evidence, including the testimony of two experts who stated that a transfer would be harmful to the child. § 39.41(4)(b), Fla.Stat. (Supp. 1994). This is a temporary order, not a final disposition, and we hold that the court did not abuse its discretion.

Affirmed.
