    No. 91-2759.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    March 24, 1992.
    Hinshaw & Culbertson and Jeffrey A. Blaker and Ronald L. Kammer, Miami, for appellants.
    Weintraub & Rosen and Lee Weintraub, Richey, Munroe, Fine, Goodman & Armstrong, and William Richey, Miami, for ap-pellees.
    Before BASKIN, LEVY and GERSTEN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

We reverse the order denying the motion to vacate default filed by defendants Thaw, Gopman & Assoc., P.A., and Ronald Thaw. Under the circumstances of this case, the submission of motions to modify a stay and to dismiss the complaint instead of an answer as provided in the trial court’s order does not merit entry of a default. Joseph v. Marese, 534 So.2d 920 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988); Techno Indus. Corp. v. Cooper Indus., Inc., 410 So.2d 584 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982).

Reversed and remanded.
