Supreme Court of South Carolina

1Opinion of the Court
Ness, Justice:
This appeal is from an order vacating a default judgment pursuant to Section 15-27-130 of the Code of Laws of South Carolina (1976). We reverse.
On September 13, 1976, an action for the recovery of real property was commenced against respondent Mary B. Clark on behalf of appellant Marguerite Clark. As no answer or other pleading was filed, an order of default was signed on November 26, 1976.
On February 18, 1977, respondent moved to set aside the default judgment and to file an answer. The court granted her motion and set aside the judgment. We conclude this was erroneous.
