Opinion

Case No. 97-0696.

Opinion filed September 10, 1997. Rehearing Denied November 20, 1997.

Appeal of a non-final order from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Robert L. Andrews, Judge; L.T. Case No. 97-743 09.

Stephen J. Finta, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Larry M. Mesches of Koeppel, Gottlieb, Mesches, Herzfeld Rubin, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse that portion of the order under review that dismisses rather than stays this action pending ordered arbitration proceedings. See EMSA Ltd. Partnership v. Mason, 677 So.2d 105, 107 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996); § 682.03(3) Fla. Stat. (1995). In all other respects, the order is affirmed. We remand for entry of an order staying proceedings pending arbitration.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

STONE, C.J., PARIENTE and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
