WILLIAM CHARLES WINDHURST, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
Our consideration of the briefs and record convinces us that the appellate points posed for our consideration are without merit. See Richter v. State, 1969, 1 Tenn. Cr.App. 270, 438 S.W. 2d 362, 364, and authorities cited therein.
We note however that the final judgment adjudicating appellant guilty of the crime of receiving stolen property fails to recite knowledge on the defendant’s part of the stolen character of the property. Spurlock v. State, Fla.App.1973, 281 So. 2d 586.
Accordingly, the case is reversed and remanded to the trial court for entry of a proper judgment.
Reversed and remanded with directions.
CROSS, MAGER and DOWNEY, JJ., concur.

Clark v. Roberto’s, Inc., 320 So. 2d 870 (Fla. 4th DCA 1975) and cases cited therein. We find that the misfiling of the complaint and summons constitutes excusable neglect.

Roberto’s, Inc., 320 So. 2d 870 (Fla. 4th DCA 1975): “It has long been the policy of the courts in this state to liberally set aside defaults for failure of a defendant to plead so as to allow a determination of the controversy on the merits when the defendant demonstrates that h…
