Isaiah WILSON, Appellant, v. FORM WORKS, INC., a Florida corporation, Stiles-Ellis, Inc., a Florida corporation, and Sunrise Harbor, Appellees.
No. 4D04-1442.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Lionel Barnet of Law Offices of Lionel Barnet, P.A., Miami, for appellant.
Donald H. Benson of Benson & Ross, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee Stiles-Ellis, Inc., a Florida corporation.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from an order dismissing a complaint as a discovery sanction, for the failure of the plaintiff to comply with discovery requests. The trial court failed to consider the factors enumerated in Kozel v. Ostendorf, 629 So.2d 817 (Fla.1993), in determining whether dismissal was appropriate. See Ham v. Dunmire, 891 So.2d 492, 500 (Fla.2004) (where the court wrote that "[t]he trial court's failure to consider the Kozel factors in determining whether dismissal was appropriate is, by itself, a basis for remand for application of the correct standard"). Based on Kozel and Ham, we reverse and remand to the trial court for further proceedings.
KLEIN and GROSS, JJ., concur.
MAY, J., dissents with opinion.
