Mark V. KILLIGAN, Appellant, v. CITY OF LAKE BUTLER, a municipality, and Skylighter a/k/a John’s Wholesale Fireworks, Inc., Appellees.
    No. 1D01-2187.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    June 20, 2002.
    Rehearing Denied July 24, 2002.
    Thomas A. Larkin, Tampa, for Appellant.
    Stephen A. Rappenecker of Holden, Rappenecker, Eubank & Mills, P.A., Gainesville, and Charles B. Carter of Carter & Drylie, P.A., Gainesville, for Appel-lees.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges an order granting appellees’ motion for involuntary dismissal with prejudice, filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.420(b), as a sanction because of appellant’s alleged misrepresentations during discovery. We reverse because the order fails to include any findings whatsoever. See, e.g., Commonwealth Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n v. Tubero, 569 So.2d 1271 (Fla.1990); Carr v. Dean Steel Bldgs., Inc., 619 So.2d 392 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993). Cf. Baker v. Myers Tractor Servs., Inc., 765 So.2d 149 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000).

REVERSED.
