CONNECTICUT GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CORP., et al, Appellants, v. Gabriel GUSON, et al, Appellees.
    No. 85-608.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Oct. 31, 1985.
    
      James P. Beadle of Jack B. Spira, P.A., Palm Bay, for appellants Connecticut Gen. Development Corp., Snug Harbor Village, Inc., and Harry J. Gould.
    Stanley Wolfman, Merritt Island, for appellants James J. Hatcher and Barbara Hatcher.
    Gregory J. Gore, Sebastian, for appel-lees.
   PER CURIAM.

The appellants, having originally filed an answer which was stricken with leave to file an amended answer, were entitled to service of a copy of plaintiffs’ motion for default and notice of hearing on that motion. As appellants were not served with the motion for default nor given notice of the hearing thereon before entry of the order entering default, appellants were entitled to have the order entering default set aside and vacated. Therefore, the trial court erred in denying appellants’ motion to set aside the order entering a default.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
