Parties | ALL STATE BUILDING MATERIALS, INC., a Florida corporation, Appellant, v. PEOPLES NATIONAL FUND, INC., a Delaware corporation, et al., Appellees. |
Court | Florida District Court of Appeals |
Floyd G. Yeager, Jacksonville, for appellant.
Bruce, Smith & Proctor, Jacksonville, for appellees.
Plaintiff has appealed a final order dismissing its action for failure to prosecute as provided by Rule 1.420, R.C.P., 30 F.S.A., 1 and a final order denying its petition for reinstatement of the cause. The affidavits and other proofs submitted by appellant in opposition to appellee's motion to dismiss and in support of its petition to reinstate sought to absolve appellant's counsel for failing to take action in the prosecution of the case for a period of more than one year because of his involvement in a domestic controversy with his wife, and preoccupation in representing other clients.
It is our view that the trial court correctly found and determined that the reasons advanced by appellant do not constitute good cause for reinstating the action, so the orders appealed are accordingly affirmed. 2
