MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
KRAM, District Judge.
Plaintiff brought this copyright infringement action to recover monetary damages arising from defendant’s alleged wrongful use of the song “A Girl Named Kim” on a recent album produced by defendant Cold Chillin’ Records (“Cold Chillin’ ”). Defendants failed timely to interpose an answer and plaintiff moved for entry of a default judgment, which judgment was filed on February 8, 1990. Cold Chillin’ now moves, pursuant to Rules 55(c) and 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, for an order setting aside the default judgment.
