Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] motion to set aside entry of default is governed by the first clause of Rule 55(d) that, ‘for good cause shown, the court may set aside an entry of default.’ This standard is more lax than that requirement for setting aside a default judgment pursuant to Rule 60(b), which requires the presence of ‘mistake, inadvertence, or excusable neglect.’”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[insurance company agent] had not contacted plaintiffs' attorney for more than one month prior to the entry of default and had retained counsel to defend in the case during that time. At no other time prior to entry of default had contact between [agent] and plaintiffs' attorney ceased for such a lengthy period of time. These facts belie [agent's] assertion that he was continuing to negotiate with plaintiffs' attorney at the time of entry of default.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Defendants' answer was filed four months after expiration of the time allowed for filing [their] answer and more than one month after default was entered. There is nothing in the record to indicate what actions defendants took during this time to defend the case other than to deliver the suit papers to the insurance carrier. Continued inattention by a defendant in a lawsuit does not constitute good cause to set aside an entry of default.”
