Decided November 1, 1979No. 78-2681PublishedCited by 435 opinions
1Per curiam
The issue in this case is whether the District Court erred in refusing to vacate a default judgment entered against appellant Harold Freeman. United Artists and Walt Disney Productions filed suit against appellant, claiming various infringements of the copyright laws. Appellant refused to answer the complaint or cooperate in discovery. The District Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for default judgment. The Court later denied appellant’s motion to set aside the judgment and his motion for a rehearing. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
