JOSE FRANCISCO TURCIO, APPELLANT,
v.
CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES, INC., APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 1999-03-17
No. 98-588
Before JORGENSON, GERSTEN, and SORONDO, JJ.
727 So. 2d 1138 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1999) Positive Treatment
Cited by 2 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The appellee correctly concedes that the trial court erred in dismissing the ease for lack of prosecution because the record reveals that documents were filed within the year preceding the motion to dismiss. Accordingly, because there was record activity within one year, we reverse and remand to the trial court for further proceedings. See Scharlin v. Broward County Property Appraisal Adjustment Board, 500 So. 2d 345 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987).

Reversed and remanded.
