An Appeal from the Circuit Court, for Dade County; Rhea Pincus Grossman and Gerald T. Wetherington, Judges.

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

PER CURIAM.

Upon consideration of the appeal and cross-appeal, we affirm the Final Judgment and post-trial orders. Appellant failed to demonstrate the existence of evident partiality on the part of the neutral arbitrator. § 682.13, Fla. Stat. (1983). Under these circumstances, we decline to apply Gaines Construction Co. v. Carol City Utilities, Inc., 164 So.2d 270 (Fla. 3d DCA 1964), aff'd, 180 So.2d 213 (Fla. 1965).

Affirmed.
