Bruce LAMBERTO, Appellant, v. George ARTIME, Appellee.
    No. 95-1474.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    May 1, 1996.
    Michael Lechtman, Miami Beach, for appellant.
    Wolpe & Leibowitz and Bradley H. Trush-in, Miami, for appellee.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and LEVY and GODERICH, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The judgment for the appellee-plaintiff under review is reversed because no good cause — by way of cognizable non-record activity or otherwise — was demonstrated to justify the failure of the predecessor trial judge to dismiss the case under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.420(e) after a period of more than one year had elapsed without record activity. Public Health Trust v. Diaz, 529 So.2d 682 (Fla.1988); Tosar v. Sladek, 393 So.2d 61 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981); F.M.C. Corp. v. Chatman, 368 So.2d 1307 (Fla. 4th DCA 1979), cert. denied, 379 So.2d 203 (Fla.1979); Dade County v. Moreno, 227 So.2d 548 (Fla. 3d DCA 1969).
