ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (“Deutsche Bank”), the plaintiff below, appeals the trial court’s order granting final summary judgment in favor of the defendant below, SFL Property Holding LLC (“SFL Property”), and dismissing the instant mortgage foreclosure action. The trial court found that the action was barred by the statute of limitations.

Based upon the record before us and the defendant’s confession of error, we reverse the trial court’s order granting the motion for summary judgment and remand to the trial court for reinstatement of the complaint. See Bartram v. U.S.

Reversed and remanded for reinstatement of the complaint.
