PER CURIAM.

This case presents the identical issue of the arbitrability of a limitations defense under the standard Dean Witter customer agreement which was involved in Victor v. Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc., 606 So.2d 681 (Fla. 5th DCA 1992), review denied, 614 So.2d 502 (Fla. 1993), and Marschel v. Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc., 609 So.2d 718 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992), review denied, 617 So.2d 318 (Fla. 1993). The decision below that the dispute must be arbitrated is affirmed on the authority of those decisions, with which we are in complete agreement.

Affirmed.
