MARK LURTZ, APPELLANT,
v.
THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON F/K/A THE BANK OF NEW YORK AS TRUSTEE FOR THE CERTIFICATE HOLDERS CWALT, INC. ALTERNATIVE LOAN TRUST 2005-56 MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES, SERIES 2005-56, APPELLEE
ON CONFESSION OF ERROR
Appellant argues on appeal that the trial court erred in conducting a foreclosure trial before the case was at issue, in contravention to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.440(a). Rule 1.440(a) states that “[a]n action is at issue after any motions directed to the last pleading served have been disposed of or, if no such motions are served, 20 days after service of the last pleading.” Appellee concedes, and we agree, that the trial court improperly issued an order setting a non-jury trial and held a trial less than twenty days after the *12service of the last pleading in violation of Rule 1.440(a). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for a new trial in compliance with rule 1.440(a).
Reversed and Remanded.
WARNER, GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
