    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

    Before PEARSÓN, BARKDULL and HAVERFIELD, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Cooper Plaza, Ltd., a domestic limited partnership, seeks review of an order denying its motion to quash process and service' of process.

Plaintiff-appellees filed a complaint for breach of a partnership agreement against appellant Cooper Plaza, Ltd. and its general partners Leo Marks, Dorthy Marks and Un-isco First Project Corporation, N.V. Pursuant to Section 48.061(2), Florida Statutes (1975), the sheriff was directed to serve the summons and a copy of the complaint on Cooper Plaza by serving Mr. Hugo Za-morano, president of Unisco First Project Corporation, N.V., as general partner for Cooper Plaza. The return of service indicated that the complaint and summons had been served on Hugo Zamorano as general partner of Cooper Plaza. Thereafter, Za-morano appeared and moved to quash service of process which had issued purporting to serve him as a general partner on the grounds that he was not and is not a general partner of Cooper Plaza. Cooper Plaza also appeared specially to contest jurisdiction by challenging the service of process. Following oral argument on the issues, the trial judge denied the motions to quash process and Cooper Plaza perfected this appeal.

Clearly the return of service which purports to have served Zamorano as a general partner of Cooper Plaza, Ltd. is improper and, accordingly, the order of denial is reversed. Further, we remand the cause to the trial court to temporarily abate the action and grant appellees the right within a reasonable period of time to have the return of service corrected.

Reversed and remanded.
