Sep 10, 1986
493 So. 2d 94 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1986)

Opinion

No. 4-86-0584.

September 10, 1986.

Appeal from a non-final order of the Circuit Court for Broward County; Robert C. Abel, Jr., Judge.

Joyce A. Slater, Sunrise, for appellant.

Daniel E. Oates of Medalie Oates, P.A., Pompano Beach, for appellees.


This case involves an appeal from the trial court's order denying defendant's motion to vacate a default judgment. The record reflects that the defendant mailed a motion to dismiss on December 24, 1986, the same day that the clerk had entered a default. We reverse. See Gibraltar Service Corporation v. Lone Associates, 488 So.2d 582 (Fla. 4th DCA 1986).

REVERSED.

ANSTEAD, GUNTHER and STONE, JJ., concur.
