   PER CURIAM.

We reverse the order denying appellant’s motion to set aside default. See Somero v. Hendry General Hospital, 467 So.2d 1103 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985); Reicheinbach v. Southeast Bank, N.A., 462 So.2d 611 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985); and Broward County v. Perdue, 432 So.2d 742 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983).

Reversed.

HERSEY, C.J., and WALDEN, J., concur.

LETTS, J., concurs specially with opinion.

LETTS, Judge,

specially concurring.

I am forced to agree with the majority’s ruling because of the all-encompassing nature of Somero v. Hendry General Hospital. I dissented in Somero and indeed I believe the result here is also error. However, I am committed to the doctrine of stare decisis and in my view Somero dictates the result.
