ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT DFS EQUIPMENT LEASING, LLC’S
MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT
Before the Court is Defendant DFS Equipment Leasing, LLC’s (“Defendant DFS
Equipment'”) unopposed Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment (doc. 26). For the reasons below,
the Court GRANTS Defendant DFS Equipment’s Motion to Set Aside Default. (Id.)
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c) permits a court to set aside an entry of default for
good cause. “Default judgments . . . are not favored by the law.” U.S. on Behalf of & for Use of
Time Equip. Rental & Sales, Inc. v. Harre, 983 F.2d 128, 130 (8th Cir. 1993) (citations omitted).
The entry of default and a motion to set aside an entry of default are well within the sound
discretion of the district court. (Id.)
The Court finds that Defendant DFS Equipment has demonstrated good cause as to why
the entry of default against him should be set aside. Accordingly, Defendant DFS Equipment’s
Motion to Set Aside Default (doc. 26) is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
