Opinion:
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.
