1Opinion of the Court
ROBERT MADDEN HILL, Circuit Judge:
Southwest Mortgage Service Corp. and W.W. Taylor appeal the district court’s denial of their motion to set aside a default judgment entered in favor of Recreational Properties, Inc. Southwest Mortgage and Taylor argue that since they never received proper service of process the district court never had personal jurisdiction over them and, therefore, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(4), the judgment was void. We agree and reverse.
