    Before COPE, GODERICH and FLETCHER, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

We find that the trial court properly granted Metropolitan-Dade County’s motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution where no record activity had occurred for a period of one year. Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.420(e); Dion v. Bald, 664 So.2d 348, 349 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995) (“[A] motion to substitute new counsel is not sufficient record activity to prevent dismissal.”); Appraisal Group, Inc. v. Visual Communications, Inc., 426 So.2d 1155 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983).

Affirmed.
