The seven factors outlined in Eitel include: (1) the possibility of prejudice to the plaintiff; (2) the merits
of plaintiff’s substantive claim; (3) sufficiency of the complaint; (4) the sum of money at stake in the
action; (5) the possibility of a dispute concerning material facts; (6) whether the default was due to
excusable neglect; and (7) the strong policy underlying the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure favoring
decisions on the merits. Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1471–72 (9th Cir. 1986) .
