PER CURIAM.
Sarasota Estate & Jewelry Buyers, Inc. ("Sarasota Estate") and Haiel A. Suwaity, Abed Suwaity, and AKMS International Corporation (collectively "the Suwaitys") appeal a judgment following violation of a settlement agreement. The record does not demonstrate that the Suwaitys were served with the Verified Motion for Entry of Final Judgment or the Notice of Hearing upon the Verified Motion; the record reflects service as to Sarasota Estate. Because the record does not demonstrate that the Suwaitys were served with legally sufficient notice, we are compelled to conclude the Suwaitys were denied due process of law by having judgment entered against them. Accordingly, we must reverse and remand for further proceedings as to these parties. See Am. Capital Network v. Command Credit Corp., 707 So.2d 874, 875 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) (citing Special's Trading Co. v. Int'l Consumer Corp., 701 So.2d 422 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997)). We affirm the remaining issue without comment.
Affirmed in part and reversed in part as to Haiel and Abed Suwaity and AKMS International Corp.; affirmed as to Sarasota Estate and Jewelry Buyers, Inc.
