JOHNS-MANVILLE SALES CORPORATION, APPELLANT, v. THE ZACK COMPANY, APPELLEE.

PER CURIAM.

A tort-feasor seeking contribution pursuant to Section 768.31(4) Florida Statutes (1977) against an alleged joint tort-feasor or co-defendant, must either file in the original action brought by plaintiff by a motion for contribution prior to the expiration of thirty days after any final judgment is rendered in favor of the plaintiff, or commence a separate action within one year of the rendition of the final judgment if the moving party does not take an appeal.

The taking of an appeal by another defendant without supersedeas from the final judgment would not be sufficient to stay the time periods applicable to the non-appealing defendant.

Therefore, the order under review applying this principle is affirmed.

Affirmed.
