   PER CURIAM.

The sua sponte dismissal of the cause without prejudice because both parties failed timely to file a pre-trial catalogue was an abuse of discretion and is reversed. Maqueira v. Almas, 409 So.2d 199 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982); see also, Techno Industrial Corp. v. Cooper Industries, Inc., 410 So.2d 584 (Fla. 3d DCA Case no. 81-278, opinion filed, February 23, 1982).
