1Opinion of the Court

Phipps, Judge.

Robert Landsberg sued Thomas Powell in the State Court of Fulton County. Although Powell did not file a timely answer, he later moved to open his default and for summary judgment or dismissal of the complaint. The court granted these motions without holding an oral hearing even though one had been requested by Powell under Uniform Superior Court Rule (USCR) 6.3. Landsberg appeals, contending that the court erred in granting Powell’s motions without holding the mandated hearing. We agree and, therefore, reverse and remand for further proceedings.
