No. 3D08-32.

Cruz & Alcoba and Amaury Cruz, for appellant.

Before COPE, WELLS, and SHEPHERD, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Upon de novo review of the record evidence concerning whether Athena Press Ltd. is subject to personal jurisdiction of the trial court, see Venetian Salami Co. v. Parthenais, 554 So.2d 499, 502 (Fla.1989); Labbee v. Harrington, 913 So.2d 679, 681 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005), we conclude the court erred in granting Athena's Motion to Dis miss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction. As acknowledged by the trial court in the order, "The affidavits of Plaintiff and Defendant cannot be reconciled." Under these circumstances, a limited evidentiary hearing is in order. See Belz Investco Ltd. P'ship v. Groupo Immobiliano Cababie, S.A., 721 So.2d 787, 789 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998).
Reversed and remanded for further proceedings consistent herewith.
WELLS and SHEPHERD, JJ., concur.
