An appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Philip Bloom, Judge, L.T. No. 94-12522.
Kohlman Mack, P.A. and Robert F. Kohlman, for appellant.
Robert Wayne and Margaret Hesford, for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and JORGENSON and GREEN, JJ.
We reverse the order dismissing the appellant's complaint for lack of prosecution pursuant to Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 1.420, where the record reflects that within the one year period preceding the motion, the appellant filed his responses to request for production and interrogatories propounded by the appellee. We conclude that this record activity was sufficient to withstand dismissal of this cause pursuant to rule 1.420.See generally Titusville Assocs. v. Epoch Management, Inc., 702 So.2d 1309, 1310 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997);Cravens v. Kulubis, 694 So.2d 780, 781 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997); American Cas. Co. of Reading, Pa. v.
