Head Matter:
SIERRA HOLDING, INC., a dissolved Florida corporation, Appellant, v. Donald SAYNER, Appellee.
No. 4-86-1326.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
April 29, 1987.
Rehearing Denied May 19, 1987.
Henry W. Ciar, Miami, for appellant.
Charles T. Becker, P.A., Fort Lauder-dale, Jane Kreusler-Walsh and Larry Klein of Klein & Beranek, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Reversed. Upon review of the record we believe it was error for the clerk of the trial court to enter a default against the appellant. Turner v. Allen, 389 So.2d 686 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980). We also believe that appellee's jurisdictional allegations concerning appellant are insufficient as a matter of law to constitute a proper predicate for constructive service of process, and appellant's motion to quash such service should have been granted. Notwithstanding our holding, upon remand the appellee should be afforded yet another opportunity to amend his complaint to state a proper predicate for service of process and to attempt to secure jurisdiction over the appellant. See Sierra Holding, Inc. v. Sayner, 469 So.2d 239 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985).
ANSTEAD and GLICKSTEIN, JJ" and FEDER, RICHARD YALE, Associate Judge, concur.
