LAHAV FLOORING AND FIXTURES, INC., Appellant, v. Dennis FLECHER, Appellee.
    No. 90-1724.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Dec. 18, 1990.
    Douglas D. Stratton, Miami Beach, for appellant.
    Burt E. Eisenberg, Hollywood, for appel-lee.
    Before FERGUSON, COPE and LEVY, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Defendant, Lahav Flooring and Fixtures, Inc., appeals a final judgment entered on a default for counsel’s failure to appear at a calendar call. Entry of a default judgment on liability is too severe a sanction for failure of counsel to appear at a call of the trial calendar. Beasley v. Girten, 61 So.2d 179 (Fla.1952).

Reversed and remanded for consideration of a lesser sanction.
