Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Brown, Erskine, Burkett & Breithaupt by D. Clay Wirtz, R. Alan Breithaupt, for Defendants Appellants Jack Buttattia and Wendy Buttattia.

Jack Buttattia, in Proper Person.

William E. Armstrong, for Plaintiffs Appellees Gregory Jackson, Regina Jackson and Michael Hayes.

Before STEWART, MOORE and TRAYLOR (Pro Tempore), JJ.


STEWART, J.

Defendants, Jack and Wendy Buttattia, appeal from a default judgment awarding plaintiffs, Michael Hayes, Gregory Jackson, and Regina Jackson, damages for the breach of an agreement to purchase real estate.1 Because we find the trial court erred in granting a default judgment under the circumstances of this case, we reverse the trial court's judgment and remand for further proceedings.
