David B. Moffett of Rissman, Weisberg, Barrett, Hurt Donahue & McLain, P.A., Orlando, for Appellee.


ORFINGER, M., Senior Judge.

We find no gross abuse of discretion in the trial court's determination to set aside the default and final judgment entered subsequent thereto where the record demonstrates excusable neglect and the assertion of a meritorious defense. See North Shore Hospital, Inc. v. Barber, 143 So.2d 849 (Fla.1962).
