Pearson, for appellee. Before JORGENSON, GODERICH, and SHEVIN, JJ. PER CURIAM. The defendant below appeals from a final judgment entered after a jury verdict for the plaintiff.

Roberts, 760 So. 2d 960 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000), review granted, No. SC00-1080, -- So. 2d -- (Fla. Nov. 23, 2000). The minimal efforts made to obtain evidence of a nondisclosure came too late. See Tejada, 760 So. 2d at 966. AFFIRMED. -2-
