219 So. 2d 464 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1969
Plaintiff has appealed a final order dismissing its action for failure to prosecute as provided by Rule 1.420, R.C.P., 30 F. S.A.,
It is our view that the trial court correctly found and determined that the reasons advanced by appellant do not constitute good cause for reinstating the action, so the orders appealed are accordingly affirmed.
. Rule 1.420(e), R.C.P.
“Failure to Prosecute. All actions in which it does not affirmatively appear from some action taken by filing of pleadings, order of court or otherwise that the same is being prosecuted for a period of one year shall be deemed abated for want of prosecution and shall be dismissed by the court on its own motion or on motion of any interested person, whether a party to the action or not, after notice to the parties; provided that actions so dismissed may be reinstated on motion for good cause, such motion to be served by any party within one month after such order of dismissal.”
