Fla. 3d DCA | 1989-11-21
No. 89-1699
Before HUBBART, NESBITT and JORGENSON, JJ.
553 So. 2d 249 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1989) Positive Treatment

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.500(b) states that if a party has filed or served any paper in an action, that party is entitled to notice of the opposing party’s application for default. In this case, appellant/defendant had filed a motion to dismiss the action; thus, appellee/plaintiff’s failure to produce a certificate showing proof that he notified appellant of his application for a default judgment, Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.080(f), is grounds to vacate the trial court’s order granting default. Carson v. Lee, 450 So. 2d 930 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984); Kiaer v. Friendship, Inc., 376 So. 2d 919 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979).

Reversed.
