No. 4D04-671.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
July 13, 2005.
Lisa M. Trempe and Madison B. McClellan of Gary, Williams, Parenti, Fin-ney, Lewis, McManus, Watson & Speran-do, P.L., Stuart, for appellants.
Ronald M. Gaché and Lisa G. Quarrie of Broad and Cassel, West Palm Beach, for appellee Richard Snyder.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Brian Spieles and Michael Spieles, timely appeal from a Final Judgment for damages entered against them after default on liability was entered as a sanction for their failure to appear for the commencement of a scheduled jury trial. The appellants demonstrated excusable neglect and a meritorious defense. We therefore reverse and remand for a new trial. See Giron v. Fairways of Sunrise Homeowners' Ass'n, Inc., 903 So.2d 1008 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005).
STEVENSON, C.J., TAYLOR and HAZOURI, JJ., concur.
