Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from, a final order dismissing plaintiffs action for lack of prosecution. Because the record reflects that the plaintiff filed a notice of hearing within the 60-day grace period following the trial court’s notice of lack of prosecution, the dismissal was error and must be reversed. See Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.420(e), Chemrock Corp. v. Tampa Elec. Co., 71 So.3d 786, 791 (Fla.2011) (“any filing of record during the applicable time frame is sufficient to preclude dismissal-without regard to a finding that the filing is intended to affirmatively move the case toward resolution on the merits”).

Reversed and remanded,

CIKLIN, C.J., GERBER and LEVINE, JJ., concur.
