    The ESTATE OF Power Ed MEUS, by and through Power MEUS, as Personal Representative, Appellant, v. The GEO GROUP, INC., f/k/a Wackenhut Corrections Corp., d/b/a Moore Haven Correctional Facility, The State of Florida, The Department of Management and The Department of Corrections, Appellees.
    No. 4D10-2137.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Feb. 9, 2011.
    David A. Howard of David A. Howard, P.A., Miami, for appellant.
    Brett M. Waronicki of Wiederhold & Moses, P.A., West Palm Beach, for Appel-lee-The GEO Group, Inc.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellee, The Geo Group, Inc., concedes that the trial court erred in failing to make the necessary findings of fact required by Kozel v. Ostendorf, 629 So.2d 817 (Fla.1993), and Cook v. Custom Marine Distributing, Inc., 29 So.3d 462 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010), when dismissing appellant’s lawsuit as a sanction for failure to comply with the trial court’s discovery orders and when denying appellant’s motion for relief from judgment. Accordingly, we reverse the orders and remand this case for the trial court to enter an order based on the findings required by Kozel and Cook, consider imposing a lesser sanction, or take any other action it deems appropriate consistent with this opinion.

Reversed and Remanded.

WARNER, TAYLOR and CIKLIN, JJ., concur.
