Gomez v. Country Club Apartments at Bonaventure
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 27, 1988 · Downey, Gunther, Walden
528 So. 2d 907; 1988 WL 38016 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Gomez v. Country Club Apartments at Bonaventure

Opinion of the Court

ON REHEARING

GUNTHER, Judge.

Appellants’ motion for rehearing to clarify opinion is granted and we substitute the following opinion.

We reverse. The trial court erred in denying appellants’ motion to vacate default and in entering default judgment against appellants. The entry of default was improper since appellants’ motion to transfer/consolidate was pending before the court at the time the default was entered. Accordingly, the entry of the default and default judgment are reversed. Harth v. Margaretten and Co., 513 So.2d 1083 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987); Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.500(c).

DOWNEY and WALDEN, JJ., concur.
