We reverse the circuit court’s order dismissing appellant’s complaint due to the litigation misconduct of attorney Jonathan Rotstein. In part, the dismissal was based on grounds not raised in appellee Colliers’ motion to dismiss. In his motion, appellee Rowley asked not for dismissal of the complaint, but for the imposition of lesser sanctions. Also, counsel for Rowley had deposed appellant prior to the hearing on the motion to dismiss, so one discovery issue had been resolved pri- or to dismissal. On remand, the circuit court may consider the imposition of sanctions against attorney Rotstein. In any future hearing seeking dismissal for counsel’s discovery violations, the circuit court should make express findings concerning the factors identified in Kozel v. Ostendorf 629 So.2d 817, 818 (Fla. 1993). See Ham v. Dunmire, 891 So.2d 492, 500 (Fla. 2004).

Reversed and remanded.
