No. 84-2499.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
July 16, 1985.
Rehearing Denied Sept. 10, 1985.
Howard, Brawner, Lovett & dePozsgay and Linton Lovett, Miami, for appellant.
Blackwell, Walker, Gray, Powers, Flick & Hoehl and James E. Tribble and Todd A. Cowart, Miami, for appellee.
Before BARKDULL, BASKIN and JOR-GENSON, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We hold that a settlement with one plaintiff is record activity calculated to hasten a cause to resolution, and therefore it was error for the trial court to dismiss the cause as to a remaining plaintiff because of alleged nonactivity pursuant to Rule 1.420, Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. See and Compare Eastern Elevator, Inc., v. Page, 263 So.2d 218 (Fla.1972); Nektaredes v. Sagonias, 432 So.2d 769 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983); Marschall v. Water-Boggan International, Inc., 401 So.2d 1157 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981); DeVaney v. Rumsch, 247 So.2d 69 (Fla. 1st DCA 1971).
The order under review dismissing the cause is reversed for further proceedings.
Reversed and remanded.
