No Appearance for Appellees.
PER CURIAM.
Loancare, LLC, appeals an order dismissing its foreclosure complaint with prejudice, arguing inter alia , that the trial court erred when it sua sponte dismissed based on unpled affirmative defenses. We agree and reverse. See Liton Lighting v. Platinum Television Grp., Inc. , 2 So. 3d 366, 367 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008) ("A trial judge may not sua sponte dismiss an action based on affirmative defenses not raised by proper pleadings." (citation omitted)).
REVERSED and REMANDED.
WALLIS, EISNAUGLE and SASSO, JJ., concur.
