    Wayne CARR, Appellant, v. GLASS-TECH CORPORATION, Appellee.
    No. 92-1556.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    March 30, 1993.
    North & Stein, and Gloria O. North, Boca Raton, for appellant.
    Roger Besu, Miami, and William James Dietz, Rockledge, for appellee.
    Before HUBBART, NESBITT and GERSTEN, JJ.
   ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

PER CURIAM.

We grant appellee’s motion for rehearing, withdraw our original opinion, and issue the following opinion in its stead.

We affirm the trial court’s order denying appellant’s motion for relief from a final default judgment. Appellant failed to show the existence of a meritorious defense and a legal excuse for failure to comply with the rules. See Cunningham v. White, 390 So.2d 467 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980). Further, we find that appellant properly received service of process in person under section 48.031, Florida Statutes (1991).

Affirmed.
