Fla. 3d DCA | 1975-04-01
No. 74-452
Before BARKDULL, C. J., PEARSON, J., and CHARLES CARROLL (Ret.), Associate Judge.
310 So. 2d 320 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1975) Positive Treatment
Cited by 5 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The appellants were sued as the maker and guarantor of a promissory note. At the conclusion of all the evidence, the trial court directed a verdict in favor of the plaintiff-appellee and against the appellants. On this appeal, the basic contention is that the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the appellants, presented an issue for the jury. Appellants have presented eight points, four of which are directed to the question of whether there was an issue for the court to decide. We concur with the trial court that the evidence was susceptible to no other reasonable interpretation except that the corporate appellant received, but has not repaid, the money represented by the note. The personal appellants do not contend that they did not guarantee the loan.

Appellants’ remaining points are directed to other rulings made by the trial court during the trial of the cause. We have examined each of these and find that no error has been demonstrated. There being no real legal issue presented in the cause, the final judgment based upon the directed verdict is affirmed.

Affirmed.

    …ant’s position that there was any evidence of insanity. On this record, we conclude that the court’s refusal to direct such an evaluation was not error because no evidence was offered to suggest insanity at the time of sentencing. See Gray v. State, 310 So. 2d 320, 321 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975). Appellant’s final point requires reversal of the conviction and a remand of the case for new trial. He asserts that it was reversible error for the court to refuse his requested instruction that attempted false imprisonment…
