This cause is affirmed because we find that there is both a legal and factual basis for the trial court’s decision to strike appellant’s pleadings, enter summary judgment on the issue of liability against appellant and tax fees and costs. See, e.g., Mercer v. Raine, 443 So.2d 944 (Fla. 1983); Garden-Aire Village Sea Haven, Inc. v. Decker, 433 So.2d 676 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983); and Ferrante v. Waters, 383 So.2d 749 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980).
