    SOUTHEASTERN ASSOCIATES, INC., Appellant, v. FIRST GEORGIA BANK, Appellee.
    No. II-381.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Aug. 25, 1978.
    Rehearing Denied Oct. 20, 1978.
    Larry L. Bryan, Jacksonville Beach, for appellant.
    George L. Hudspeth of Mahoney, Hadlow & Adams, Jacksonville, for appellee.
   SMITH, Acting Chief Judge.

An appeal from a money judgment entered on a promissory note. The appellant corporation asserts that the trial court erred in declining to permit its sole stockholder, a layman, to act as attorney for the corporation and to conduct its defense. The court did not err. A corporation is not a person entitled to conduct its own defense, nor may it nominate a nonlawyer to do so. Nicholson Supply Co. v. First Federal Savings & Loan Ass’n, 184 So.2d 438 (Fla. 2d DCA 1966); Angelini v. Mobile Home Village, Inc., 310 So.2d 776 (Fla. 1st DCA 1975).

AFFIRMED.

MELVIN and BOOTH, JJ., concur.
