R.C. Service, Inc. v. Kende Leasing Corp.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

MORAN, District Judge.

Defendant Kende Leasing Corporation (“Kende”) moves under Rule 60(b) to vacate the default judgment which this court entered against it on December 10, 1985 for repeated failure to comply with this court’s discovery orders. Kende has a new lawyer and asserts that the default stems solely from the nonfeasance or the misfeasance of its former lawyer. Because Kende submits no evidence which would excuse or even explain that lawyer’s neglect, and cannot show that it diligently monitored the progress of the suit, the motion is denied.
