    CHRISTEL PLAZA CORPORATION, Appellant, v. SOUTHERN SKATING, INC., et al., Appellees.
    No. 3D01-1993.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Nov. 6, 2002.
    Salas, Ede, Peterson & Lage and Douglas E. Ede, for appellant.
    Alan C. Gold; Hessen, Schimmel & De Castro; Allan Jay Atlas, Fort Myers, for appellees.
    Before COPE, LEVY, and FLETCHER, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a dismissal of an intervention action for failure to timely file an amended complaint. Finding the dismissal too severe a sanction under the circumstances herein, which involved the actions of the intervener’s counsel and not his client, we reverse for reinstatement. See e.g. Town of Manalapan v. Florida Power & Light Co., 815 So.2d 670 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002); Rosenberg v. Miller, 453 So.2d 885 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984). Upon remand, the trial court may consider imposing a more appropriate sanction upon the attorney.

Reversed and remanded with directions to reinstate the action.
