Sierra Holding, Inc. v. Sayner
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 29, 1987 · Anstead, Feder, Glickstein, Yale
506 So. 2d 65; 12 Fla. L. Weekly 1115; 1987 Fla. App. LEXIS 7909 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Sierra Holding, Inc. v. Sayner

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Reversed. Upon review of the record we believe it was error for the clerk of the trial court to enter a default against the appellant. Turner v. Allen, 389 So.2d 686 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980). We also believe that appellee’s jurisdictional allegations concerning appellant are insufficient as a matter of law to constitute a proper predicate for constructive service of process, and appellant’s motion to quash such service should have been granted. Notwithstanding our holding, upon remand the appellee should be afforded yet another opportunity to amend his complaint to state a proper predicate for service of process and to attempt to secure jurisdiction over the appellant. See Sierra Holding, Inc. v. Sayner, 469 So.2d 239 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985).
