Jack YANKS, et al., Appellants, v. KEYSTONE CENTER, INC., et al., Appellees.
    No. 91-17.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    April 7, 1992.
    Robert C. Meyer, Coral Gables, for appellants.
    No appearance for appellees.
    Before HUBBART, FERGUSON, and JORGENSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The defendants appeal from the denial of a motion to vacate a judgment. We hold that the defendants were denied due process by having a judgment rendered against them while they stood in the proceedings only as nominal defendants. See 67A C.J.S. Parties § 6 (1978). We, therefore, reverse and remand with directions to vacate the judgment and provide the plaintiffs an opportunity to modify the defendants’ posture in these proceedings.

Reversed and remanded with directions.
