Opinion
No. 91-2759.
March 24, 1992.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Henry Ferro, Judge.
Hinshaw Culbertson and Jeffrey A. Blaker and Ronald L. Kammer, Miami, for appellants.
Weintraub Rosen and Lee Weintraub, Richey, Munroe, Fine, Goodman Armstrong, and William Richey, Miami, for appellees.
Before BASKIN, LEVY and GERSTEN, JJ.
We reverse the order denying the motion to vacate default filed by defendants Thaw, Gopman Assoc., P.A., and Ronald Thaw. Under the circumstances of this case, the submission of motions to modify a stay and to dismiss the complaint instead of an answer as provided in the trial court's order does not merit entry of a default. Joseph v. Marese, 534 So.2d 920 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988); Techno Indus. Corp. v. Cooper Indus., Inc., 410 So.2d 584 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982).
Reversed and remanded.
