PER CURIAM.
We reverse the amended final judgment entered in favor of appellee by default after the trial court struck the appellants' pleadings as a sanction for failing to comply and/or timely comply with various orders of the court. The severity of the sanction must be commensurate with the violation, and dismissal of an action should be imposed upon a party only in extreme situations for flagrant or aggravated cases of disobedience.
