Sao v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 109 So. 3d 896, 2013 WL 1339230, 2013 Fla. App. LEXIS 5470 (Fla. Ct. App. 2013).

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges the trial court’s order denying his motion to quash service of process, set aside judgment, sale, and order of writ of eviction based upon the court’s failure to conduct an evidentiary hearing. Appellee properly concedes error. “[A] trial court is required to conduct an evidentiary hearing before entering an order denying a motion to set aside a judgment.” Palacio v. Alaska Seaboard Partners Ltd. P’hip, 50 So.3d 54 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010) (citing Seal v. Brown, 801 So.2d 993, 994-95 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001)). “Furthermore, if a moving party’s allegations raise a colorable entitlement to relief, a formal evidentiary hearing and appropriate discovery is required.” M Therefore, we REVERSE and REMAND for an evi-dentiary hearing.

LEWIS, THOMAS, and MAKAR, JJ., concur.
